Air film cooling has been successfully used to cool gas turbine hot sections for the last half century. A promising technology is proposed to enhance air film cooling with water mist injection. Numerical simulations have shown that injecting a small amount of water droplets into the cooling air improves film-cooling performance significantly. However, previous studies were conducted at conditio...

Quenching cooling rate of rotary hollow cylinder by one row of water impinging jets has been experimentally studied. Water jets (d = 8 mm) with sub-cooling 55 to 85 ◦C and Reynolds number 8,006 to 36,738 impinged over rotary hot hollow cylinder (rotation speed 10 to 70 rpm) with initial temperature 250 to 600 ◦C. Impingement impact angle of row of jets varied between 0 to 135 ◦ and jet-to-jet s...

High nitrogen doped 300 mm silicon wafers annealed in 100 % argon ambient were investigated whether modified pulling conditions will lead to improved slip behavior and homogeneous radial oxygen precipitation. It turned out that increasing of the cooling rate during crystal pulling is beneficial on these wafer defect parameters. The void morphology was investigated by TEM and oxygen precipitatio...

Changes in the concentration of interstitial iron in multicrystalline silicon wafers after high temperature annealing (900oC) have been monitored by carrier lifetime measurements. Two cooling rates were investigated. The first was considered ‘fast’, meaning the interstitial Fe had no time to diffuse to precipitation sites, and should therefore be frozen-in, despite being far above the solubilit...

In the JLab Electron Ion Collider (JLEIC) project the traditional electron cooling technique is used to reduce the ion beam emittance at the booster ring, and to compensate the intrabeam scattering effect and maintain the ion beam emittance during collision at the collider ring. A new electron cooling process simulation program has been developed to fulfill the requirements of the JLEIC electro...

Simulations of the thermal and dynamical evolution of primordial gas typically focus on the role played byH2 cooling. H2 is the dominant coolant in low-density primordial gas and it is usually assumed that it remains dominant at high densities. However, H2 is not an effective coolant at high densities, owing to the low critical density at which it reaches local thermodynamic equilibrium and to ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Localized head and neck cooling might be suited to induce therapeutic hypothermia in acute brain injury such as stroke. Safety issues of head and neck cooling are undetermined and may include cardiovascular autonomic side effects that were identified in this study. METHODS Ten healthy men (age 35±13 years) underwent 120 minutes of combined head and neck cooling (Sovika,...
