Infrared (IR) thermography technique has been used for investigating the temperature field. In order to obtain the velocity field ANSYS FLUENT has been implemented. The diameter of the film cooling hole and the cross-flow velocity are used to calculate the Reynolds number, which is set at 2369. The blowing ratio of the jet to the cross-flow has been changed to 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5. Effect of CFU and common flow down configuration has been investigated. The angle of attack has been varied as 35° and 45°. It is observed that common flow down configuration of vortex generator performs better than Common Flow Up configuration. Common flow down configuration as well as lower distance between vortex generator and film cooling hole enhance the film cooling effectiveness due to generation of secondary longitudinal vortices which decrease the strength of the counter rotating vortex structures. Among all the shape (triangular, rectangular and trapezoidal) rectangular vortex generator performs better. Growths of shear layer vortices are modified due to the inclusion of vortex generator. Overall, Vortex Generator with common flow down configuration and 35° angle of attack performs better than Common Flow Up configuration due to generation of secondary longitudinal vortices which annihilates the counter rotating vortex structures due to having rotational tendency opposite to Counter rotating vortex pair.","PeriodicalId":20705,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140673642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The calculation formula for availability characteristic quantities and categories of planned maintenance for nuclear power plants are introduced. For nuclear power plants that have been in operation for less than 5 years, an availability prediction method based on statistical data is adopted to predict the equivalent availability factor of nuclear power plants. For nuclear power plants with operation years greater than or equal to 5 years, an availability prediction method based on power function and polynomial is adopted to predict the equivalent availability factor of nuclear power plants, and an accuracy verification method of availability prediction for nuclear power plants is provided. Based on availability prediction values and qualification criteria for availability monitoring, the availability monitoring of nuclear power plants is carried out. The optimization for numbers of planned maintenance days and newly added unplanned maintenance days based on different planned maintenance years promote the availability improvement of nuclear power plants. The relative error of availability prediction for an 1000 MW nuclear power plant and application example of optimized maintenance measures for different planned maintenance years are provided. The results show that the availability prediction method based on power function has high prediction accuracy and conforms to the availability trend of nuclear power plants.

The vortexes in the impeller passage decrease obviously with the increase of flow rate from 0.4 Q to 1.2 Q. As the stage increase, there is a local high pressure area at the tongue and it affects the fluid backflow. The main frequency of the pulsation at the impeller inlet is the blade passing frequency ( fBPF), and the main frequency at the impeller outlet and the interface is 2 fBPF. Due to interstage interference, the main frequency of the second impeller includes blade passing frequency of the first stage impeller (5 fn) and its own blade passing frequency (7 fn). With the increase of the stages, the rule of pulsation gradually tends to be consistent.","PeriodicalId":20705,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140626728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A self-cooling mechanism of the generator is designed and implemented for the forced convection via a fan being on the generator rotor. In addition, air is naturally directed towards the lateral parts of the machine in air gaps between stator and rotors. The designed fan has 16 blades with 65 degrees. The CFD and experimental self-cooling analyses are performed to focus on the flow velocities and temperature measurements. In this study, it has been aimed to compare heat transfers by the natural convection and by the forced convection. For this reason, besides Rayleigh ( Ra), Nusselt ( Nu), Grashof ( Gr) and Reynolds ( Re) numbers, heat transfer terms on the small winding coil, which is important heat source for the generator, are calculated for natural and forced convection. They are also clarified experimentally and theoretically. The heat transfer at 300 rpm varies between 0.04 W and 0.30 W by time for forced convection and varies between 0.21 W and 0.30 W by time for natural convection, whereas, it increases up at 1000 rpm from 0.50 W to 1.49 W by time for forced convection and from 0.02 W to 0.45 W by time for natural convection. It is proven that the proposed cooling system operates efficiently and the proposed self-cooling method can be used for other axial flux machines, too.","PeriodicalId":20705,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140615401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conducting research on the effects and mechanisms of angle of attack and crosswind on the integrated characteristics and flow field of nacelle and fan holds significant engineering value. In this study, a high-bypass-ratio turbofan engine serves as the research subject, and the influence of crosswind and angle of attack coupling on the nacelle intake and fan components is analyzed using numerical simulations. The numerical research findings indicate that both individual angle of attack and crosswind, as well as their combination, lead to a specific range of total pressure distortion in the inlet. At an angle of attack of 25°, the extent and degree of circumferential total pressure distortion formed on the aerodynamic interface exhibit minor variations under different crosswind inflow conditions. Under two operating conditions involving left crosswind and right crosswind, both characterized by an angle of attack of 25° and a wind speed of 20 m/s, the combined effects of crosswind and angle of attack on the fan and outlet guide vane (OGV) components are mainly concentrated at the blade tip. These influencing factors collectively lead to total pressure distortion in the inlet flow field, resulting in the interaction between tip leakage flow and passage shock waves. At the same angle of attack, there are differences in the impact of total pressure distortion caused by crosswinds in two directions on the fan. Under the same operating conditions, the total pressure distortion induced by the right crosswind has a greater impact on OGV.","PeriodicalId":20705,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140615523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted an experimental investigation in a single-nozzle swirl combustor to examine the impact of oxygen content, inlet flow rate as well as temperature on combustion instability under oxygen-lean conditions. The results show that reducing oxygen content from 23.3% to 21% leads to reduced amplitudes of pressure pulsation and exothermic pulsation, indicating improved combustion stability. However, further reduction in oxygen content to 18.6% causes a decrease in the combustion reaction rate, resulting in an increase in the amplitude of pressure pulsation. As the oxygen content drops to below 18.6%, the exothermic intensity decreases, which results in a decrease in the amplitude of pressure pulsation. Besides, under oxygen-lean conditions, increasing the inlet temperature is conducive to reducing the amplitude of pressure pulsation and enhancing combustion stability. Additionally, as the incoming flow rate increases from 7.4 to 9.9 m/s, the refined fuel atomization and improved uniformity of oil-gas mixing contributed to decreased pressure pulsation amplitude. Nonetheless, when the incoming flow rate further increases to 12 m/s, the amplitude of exothermic and pressure pulsation increases.","PeriodicalId":20705,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140569495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gas-water mixing is achieved by an annular gas mixing device and visualized by high-speed imaging technology. Meanwhile, the shear stress transport (SST) k- ω model coupled with the VOF model is applied to investigate the gas phase distribution. Numerically simulated inducer energy characteristics and internal gas-phase distribution are in good agreement with experimental data. The results show that the mixed gas-liquid flow inside the inducer exhibits three flow patterns: wavy flow, bubbly flow, and plug flow. For the wavy flow, a series of wavy structures on the blade surface and gas-pocket bubbles near the blade rim are observed. From wavy flow to bubbly flow, uniform bubble streams on the blade surface and spiraling strip bubbles near the edge of the blade are observed. For plug flow, bubble accumulation results in a bullet-shaped plug, and the strip-shaped bubbles near the blade rim are more obvious. In the same axial position of the inducer, the proportion of gas phase is increasing as the flow coefficient increases, thus affecting the inducer performance. The main frequency amplitude of the pressure pulsations gradually rise when the flow pattern changes from wavy to plug flow.","PeriodicalId":20705,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140569374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study rotors of various blade skews, namely, axial, circumferential and axial-circumferential types, are studied and their aerodynamic performances are compared to those of the baseline radial rotors of two types, namely, constant chord and varying chord. The skew in a blade can be considered as combination of sweep and dihedral. The skew change from the circumferential to axial type causes reversal of dihedral induced radial blade force and hence a reversal of meridional streamline curvature which in turn reverses the modulation of the end-wall loads. The inherent forward sweep in the forward skewed blades also modulates hub and tip loads. Thus, in a forward axial skew blade the forward sweep and positive dihedral combine favorably to unload the tip and to upload the hub. In the forward circumferentially skewed blades, forward sweep and the negative dihedral have mutually countering effects on end-wall load modulation. The highlight of this study is that it has demonstrated experimentally the unloading of the tip in the forward axially skewed blades which resulted in reduced losses and better performance including increased stall margin. Reduced tip loading was also verified from the casing pressure sensor measurements which showed weakening of tip vortex. The relative influence of sweep and dihedral on performance was additionally demonstrated in the axially-circumferentially skewed rotor of the constant chord type, with improvements attributable to higher sweep.","PeriodicalId":20705,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140196985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
