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...

Using the first-principles calculations based on density functional theory, we investigate the more d-electrons doping effects on the electronic structure and magnetism of the parent inverse Heusler alloy Ti<Subscript>2</Subscript>CoAl by the substitution of Nb and V atoms for Ti(A) and Ti(B) atoms locating at the two...</subscript>

The growth-optimal portfolio optimization strategy pioneered by Kelly is based on constant portfolio rebalancing which makes it sensitive to transaction fees. We examine the effect of fees on an example of a risky asset with a binary return distribution and show that the fees may give rise to an...

The effect of atomic antisite and swap defects on the electronic and magnetic properties of Ti<Subscript>2</Subscript>NiAl inverse Heusler alloy is investigated by the first-principles calculations within density functional theory. In the ordered Ti<Subscript>2</Subscript>NiAl alloy, there are eight antisites and five swaps which are...</subscript></subscript>
