A multiaxis thrust-vectoring nozzle designed to have equal ow-turning capability in pitch and yaw was conceived and experimentally tested for internal static performance at Langley Research Center. The cruciform-shaped, convergent-divergent nozzle turned the ow for thrust vectoring by deeecting the divergent surfaces of the nozzle, called aps. Methods for eliminating physical interference betwe...

Abstract:-The FSAE guidelines state that it is mandatory for each and every car participating in the said event to have a single circular 20mm restrictor in the intake system. All the air flowing to the engine must pass through this restrictor. Conventionally, a Venturi Nozzle is used as a restrictor. In our research, we have proposed two Nozzles: De-Laval Nozzle and Bell Nozzle as an alternati...

Lateral nozzle forces are known to cause severe structural damage to any new rocket engine in development. Currently there is no fully coupled computational tool to analyze this fluid/structure interaction process. The objective of this study was to develop a fully coupled aeroelastic modeling capability to describe the fluid/structure interaction process during the transient nozzle operations....

We report a new proof-of-concept bubble-based gas sensor for a gas chromatography system, which utilizes the unique relationship between the diameters of the produced bubbles with the gas types and mixture ratios as a sensing element. The bubble-based gas sensor consists of gas and liquid channels as well as a nozzle to produce gas bubbles through a micro-structure. It utilizes custom-developed...

Pelton turbine is the most commonly used high head impulse turbine with low discharge. For obtaining highest power output from runner one of the most important parameter is quality of jet which strikes bucket tangentially. The quality of jet and its impact work depends on the distance between the nozzle exit and runner along with its angle of strike. In the present paper, the effect of distance...

Cavitation and turbulence in a diesel injector nozzle has a great effect on the development and primary breakup of spray. However, the mechanism of the cavitation flow inside the nozzle and its influence on spray characteristics have not been clearly known yet because of the internal nozzle flow complexities. In this paper, a comprehensive numerical simulation is carried out to study the intern...

Abstract This historical moment is characterized by a great awareness regarding the need to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions (GHG), which are responsible for climate change and its detrimental consequences. Green hydrogen produced means of Power-to-Gas technologies from renewables gaining momentum as possible clean fuel future mobility. In such context, traditional injectors hydrocarbon fuels cu...

DLR Lampoldshausen carried out cold flow tests to study the flow field in a truncated ideal contour nozzle at low nozzle pressure ratios. A convex shaped Mach disk was found for nozzle pressure ratios less than 10 and a slight concave one for nozzle pressure ratios more than 20. Due to boundary layer transition the convex Mach disk is temporary tilted and redirects the flow towards the nozzle w...

Flight Mass Spectrometers (ATOFMS) in the 3800 series of instruments with built-in Aerodynamic Focusing Lens technology. Without a focusing lens, the ATOFMS samples particles from a variety of sources through a nozzle. Typically, particles from about 100 to 3000 nanometers are sampled with sharply decreasing efficiency for smaller sizes. To overcome this size bias, to sample smaller particles e...
