An experimental investigation was performed of the acoustic effects of jet-pylon interaction for separate flow and chevron nozzles of both bypass ratio five and eight. The models corresponded to an approximate scale factor of nine. Cycle conditions from approach to takeoff were tested at wind tunnel free jet Mach numbers of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.28. An eight-chevron core nozzle, a sixteen chevron fan ...

An accurate fuel injection advance angle is an important parameter to obtain better fuel combustion index and emission index. Fuel injection advance angle is always deranged because of the wear of the injection nozzle matching parts, which has serious impact on diesel engine performance. How to measure the fuel injection advance angle easily and accurately is a problem for fault diagnosis of hi...

Turbo-expanders are used in industries for cooling, liquefaction and also power generation. An important part of these turbines is the variable angle nozzle causing a nonlinear behavior that is not well recognized among the prime movers of the dispersed generators. In this paper, at first, the turbo expander system is evaluated in details and its nonlinear behavior is investigated. Then, the sy...

Finite element method is employed to analyze the spherical vessel intersected by an oblique cylindrical nozzle. In this survey the stress and strain distributions on acute and obtuse sides of the connection under internal pressure are studied widely although axial and moment loadings on the nozzle are also studied briefly. Stress concentration factors for a wide range of geometrical ratios in t...

We present a three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes investigation of the impact on nozzle aerodynamic performance of deflector vanes used for noise suppression in separate-flow turbofan engines. The vanes are installed in the bypass duct and deflect the bypass plume downward relative to the core plume. This study considers a single pair of vanes, with a NACA 0012 airfoil section, ins...

Numerical studies have been carried out using a validated two-dimensional standard k-omega turbulence model for the design optimization of a thrust vector control system using shock induced self-impinging supersonic secondary double jet. Parametric analytical studies have been carried out at different secondary injection locations to identifying the highest unsymmetrical distribution of the mai...

Impulse generation with gaseous detonation requires conversion of chemical energy into mechanical energy. Because of the poor performance of straight detonation tubes compared to conventional propulsion systems and the success of using nozzles on rocket engines, the effect of nozzles on detonation tubes is being investigated. The first experimental investigation measuring impulse by gaseous det...

Wicking flow inside capillary tubes can attain considerable momentum so as to produce a liquid jet at the end of the tube. Auto-ejection refers to the formation of droplets at the tip of such a jet. Experimental observations suggest that a tapering nozzle at the end of the capillary tube is necessary for auto-ejection; it has never been reported for a straight tube. Besides, most experimental r...

Using high-speed video, we have studied air bubbles detaching from an underwater nozzle. As a bubble distorts, it forms a thin neck which develops a singular shape as it pinches off. As in other singularities, the minimum neck radius scales with the time until the breakup. However, because the air-water interfacial tension does not drive the breakup, even small initial cylindrical asymmetries a...
