    Abstract: Gas turbines normally have the rotating and stationary parts. The rotational blades always need clearance to rotation. Blade tip clearance is one of the important parameters affecting performance, safety and stability of a gas turbine engine. However, it is difficult to measure the tip clearance accurately during the tests. The numerical studies ar... Show More

    Abstract: The results of studies of the cooling ability, rheological and surface-active properties of aqueous solutions of polyalkyleneglycol, sodium salt of carboxymethyl cellulose and polyacrylamide are presented. The choice of polymers is due to the problem of studying the mechanism of the cooling process in aqueous solutions of polymers. Comparison of th... Show More

    Abstract: In this paper, an analytical study is reported on double-diffusive natural convection in a shallow porous cavity saturated with a non-Newtonian fluid by using the Darcy model with the Boussinesq approximations. A Cartesian coordinate system is chosen with the x- and y- axes at the geometrical center of the cavity and the y’-axis vertically upward. ... Show More
