The disc pump operates using boundary layer principle and viscous drag with a relatively low efficiency. There are methods to increase head and efficiency, one of them is the placing of blades sector sor splitter blades ...

In the low pressure section of the steam turbines the damages due to the erosion are pronounced becoming remarkable in all the stages, since the generation of water liquid microparticles implies the impact on the blades ...

The effects of different blade configurations on a vertically falling rotating blade decelerator (pararotor) are studied. A pararotor model equipped with cambered plate blades with different curvatures was tested in a wind ...

This work presents the design and development of a remote monitoring system for the blades' strain in a small wind turbine (SWT). The monitoring system allows real-time transmission of the stress to a remote client which ...

An important aspect in wind-turbine technology nowadays is to reduce the uncertainties related to blade dynamics by the improvement of the quality of numerical simulations of the fluid-structure interaction process. A ...

This paper describes the structural fatigue testing of a IWPB-70, 32-m blade at IMPSA's Blade Test Laboratory.

The necessity of adapting the standardized fan models to conditions of higher temperature has emerged due to the growth of concern referring to the consequences of the gas expelling after the Mont Blanc tunnel accident in ...
