Blade is an essential component of a gas turbine that functions to convert thermal gas
energy at a high temperature and pressure into mechanical energy. Gas in the turbine blade …

Gas turbine is an important functional part of many applications. Cooling of blades has been
a major concern since they are in a high temperature environment. Various techniques have …

Operation of machines in resonance ranges is a great challenge for design engineers. The
paper focuses on the analysis of centrifugal fan casing vibrations which during machine …

This paper presents the root cause analysis of the blade fracture of the motor cooling fan in a
reciprocating compressor package. The dynamic analyses results showed that the first-order …

This paper concerns the development of methodology for use of Infrared thermography (IRT)
for online prediction of mechanical structural vibration behaviour; given that it has …

Blades of combustion turbines are extremely loaded turbojet elements, which transmit
operative energy onto a rotor. Experiences of many years indicate, that cracks initiation and …

Cooling towers are important heat exchangers in power generation industry comprising of
centrifugal fans which are used for cooling purposes. The present research investigates the …

In steam turbine, turbine blades are prone to vibrate during operation, resulting in steam
turbine accidents. The most common method for reducing the vibration of steam turbine …

Infrared thermography (IRT) has matured and is now widely accepted as a condition
monitoring tool where temperature is measured in a non-contact way. Since the late 1970s …

Cooling towers are the major industrial part for heat rejection in petrochemical industry, oil
refineries, chemical plants, thermal power plants and HVAC systems for cooling structures …
