Thermal Modeling and Optimization of Irreversible Cogeneration Power Plant
Abstract: This paper aims at studying the cogeneration system coupled with outer heat reservoir of finite heat capacity and comprises of both external as well as internal irreversibility. External irreversibility is due to the finite-rate heat transfer between the working fluid and heat reservoirs while internal irreversibility is due to heat dissipation of working fluid. Both types of irreversibility are involved in the study on introducing an internal irreversible parameter which …

Review on Vibration Problems in Turbomachinery
Abstract: Vibration suppression of turbomachinery is an important engineering problem. Vibration caused by mass imbalance is a common problem in rotating the turbomachinery systems. Imbalance occurs if the principal axis of inertia of the rotor is not coincident with its geometric axis. Higher speeds cause much greater centrifugal imbalance forces, and the current trend of rotating equipment toward higher power density clearly leads to higher operational speeds. In this paper, a …
