In order to evaluate the performance of a new power generation system in which the generator is driven by the fuel vapor turbine, the pyrolysis characteristics and the compositions of pyrolyzed fuel mixture are experimentally studied. An algorithm is developed for the calculation of isentropic...

Advanced aeroengine with endothermic hydrocarbon fuel cooling works as chemical recuperative cycle. In order to study the thermal management of fuel in view of chemical recuperation, models of flowing cracked hydrocarbon fuel inside engine cooling channels are developed and validated. Based on...

The method to improve the heat sink utilization of fuel is the primary issue for thermal management of advanced aeroengines. In order to study the methods to control the fuel heat sink utilization, a one dimensional model of flow and heat transfer process in a single cooling channel of...

Thermal management of fuel is very important for the cooling system of an advanced engine. In order to study the 3-D phenomena of fuel flow with cracking reaction in the cooling channels and their effect on the utilization of fuel heat sink, numerical models of cracking fuel flow in an...

YBa2Cu3O7-d/graphene oxide (YBCO/GO) composite materials were fabricated by using powder metallurgy process combined with cold isostatic pressing (CIP) technique. The coefficient of friction (COF) of YBCO matrix composites with addition of 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 wt% GO were reported for the first...
