Choi Erosion phenomenon of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), attributed to their unique architectural configurations, is markedly different from conventional monolithic ceramic counterparts. Prior to further integration...

... online April 18, 2014. Editor: David Wisler. 12 02 2014 23 02 2014 In this paper, common faults in main components of an industrial two-shaft gas turbine are simulated, and the fault signatures are determined in both part and full-load conditions. As fouling and erosion are the most...

... function for the erosion pitting was defined as (9) f ( x ) 1 σ ( 2 π ) 1 / 2 e - 0 . 5 x ( - μ / σ ) 2 where σ denotes the standard deviation and μ is the location parameter equal to the mean. Contributed by the Structures...

...Alessandro Corsini; Andrea Marchegiani; Franco Rispoli; Paolo Venturini; Anthony G. Sheard Induced draft fans extract coal fired boiler combustion products, including particles of un-burnt coal and ash. As a consequence of the particles, the axial fan blades’ leading edges are subject to erosion...

...V. P.“Swami” Swaminathan; Ronghua Wei; David W. Gandy Solid particle erosion (SPE) and liquid droplet erosion (LDE) cause severe damage to turbine components and lead to premature failures, business loss, and repair costs to power plant owners and operators. Under a program funded by the Electric...

...Shun-sen Wang; Guan-wei Liu; Jing-ru Mao; Qun-gong He; Zhen-ping Feng This paper experimentally examines the influence of coating thickness, test temperature, coating hardness, and defects on the erosion resistance of boride coatings, ion plating CrN coatings, and thermal spraying coatings...

.... ACCS features separate nozzle systems for online and offline compressor cleaning accounting for different operating conditions. For online cleaning, the droplet size is optimized for the droplets to remain in the main air flow in order to minimize erosion effects while providing a homogeneous field...

...J. R. Fan, Professor; K. Luo, Assistant Professor; X. Y. Zhang, Assistant Professor; K. C. Cen, Professor In order to find out the ribs with the best anti-erosion efficiency, the erosion effects in three 90° duct bend gas-solid flows with different ribs are investigated and compared...
