Wells turbine is a self-rectifying air turbine which is widely used in oscillating water column energy converter. The Wells turbine will always rotate in the same direction irrespective of the direction of the oscillating airflow. Furthermore the Wells turbine has a simple configuration and structure. This is why the Wells turbine is very commonly used for conversion of wave energy. At present ...

combined cycle performance can be improved by improving the performance of gas turbine based topping cycle. amongst various options the effective cooling of gas turbine blade for realizing the higher turbine inlet temperatures is one of the attractive options. the present paper deals with the thermodynam-ic analysis of advanced technology gas/steam combined cycle based power plant having closed...

A large number of fish are prone to death during the passage through pumping stations according monitoring data, especially when axial-flow pumps equipped. This study comprises assessment damage for traditional pump and redesigned so-call fish-friendly pump. The Lagrangian tracking approach combined with computational fluid dynamics that takes profile contact force into account is used shed lig...
