Advanced sealing technology is crucial for turbine efficiency. To reduce seal leakage, the
flow control method based on gas injection is an attractive solution. The traditional flow …

Power generation has been and remains a focal point of economic, environmental,
sociological, and ethical discourse in the field of engineering. In recent times, there has …

Textured thrust bearings are capable of providing higher load capacity and lower friction
torque compared to nontextured bearings. However, most previous optimization efforts for …

Contact performance can be enhanced by using textured surfaces. These are also found to
have influences on lubricated contacts. A procedure to find the optimal partially textured …

Gas foil bearings can operate in extreme conditions such as high temperature and high
rotating speed, compared to traditional bearings. They also provide better dam** and …

Purpose Traditional prediction of braking characteristics of vehicular hydrodynamic retarders
is commonly conducted based on braking characteristics model of closed working chamber …

Annular labyrinth seals often have a destabilizing effect on pump rotordynamics due to the
large cross-coupled forces generated when the fluid is squeezed by an oscillating rotor. In …

Hybrid bearings are mostly used in high-speed and load situations due to their better
stability and loading capacity. They are typically designed with recess grooves to enhance …

Grove configuration has a direct influence on the performance of the labyrinth seal. In this
study, the geometry of the groove cavities in a water balance drum labyrinth seal was varied …

Gas foil bearings use ambient air as working fluid, which forms the hydrodynamic wedge
between the rotor surface and the compliant foil structure, therefore they are oil-free and …
