Heat transfer and friction coefficients have been measured within a rectangular passage of aspect ratio 0.4 containing 45-degree staggered turbulators of very high blockage. Using a constant pitch-to-height ratio of 10 for all geometries, turbulator height-to-channel hydraulic diameter ratios from 0.193 to 0.333 were investigated. This range of e/D creates actual channel blockage ratios e/H from 0.275 to 0.475, presenting significant flow area restrictions. A liquid crystal test technique is used to obtain both detailed heat transfer behavior on the surfaces between turbulators, as well as averaged fully developed heat transfer coefficients. Reynolds numbers from 20000 to 100000 were tested. Nusselt number enhancements of up to 3.6 were obtained over that of a smooth channel, with friction coefficient enhancements of as much as 65. In contrast to low-blockage turbulated channels, the 45-degree turbulated Nu is found to be lower than that at 90-degree orientation, given very similar e/D and e/H values.

Abstract This paper deals with the effect of the material types (Graphite-Epoxies and Kevlar-Epoxy) on the fundamental frequencies of uniaxial constant-pitch composite conical helical springs with solid circle section and fixed-fixed ends. The transfer matrix method is used for the determination of the fundamental natural frequencies. The rotary inertia, the shear and axial deformation effects are taken into account in the solution. The free vibrational charts for each material presented in this study cover the following vibrational parameters: n (number of active turns) = 5–10, α = (helix pitch angle) = 5° and 25°, R2/R1, (minimum to maximum radii of the cylinder) = 0.1 and 0.9, and Dmax/d (maximum cylinder to wire diameters) = 5 and 15. These charts can be used for the design of uniaxial composite conical springs.

This article describes a direct comparison between two symmetrical airfoils undergoing dynamic stall at high, unsteady reduced frequencies under otherwise identical conditions. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) was performed to distinguish the differences in flow structure between a NACA 0021 and a NACA 0012 airfoil undergoing dynamic stall. In addition, surface pressure measurements were performed to evaluate aerodynamic load and investigate the effect of laminar separation bubbles and vortex structures on the pressure fields surrounding the airfoils. Airfoil geometry is shown to have a significant effect on flow structure development and boundary layer separation, with separation occurring earlier for thinner airfoil sections undergoing constant pitch-rate motion. Inertial forces were identified to have a considerable impact on the overall force generation with increasing rotation rate. Force oscillation was observed to correlate with multiple vortex structures shedding at the trailing-edge during high rotation rates. The presence of laminar separation bubbles on the upper and lower surfaces was shown to dramatically influence the steady-state lift of both airfoils. Poststall characteristics are shown to be independent of airfoil geometry such that periodic vortex shedding was observed for all cases. However, the onset of deep stall is delayed with increased nondimensional pitch rate due to the delay in initial dynamic-stall vortex.

Helicoidal surfaces correspond to a cathegory of widely spread surfacesin the technical field. From the point of view of the manufacturing of helicoidal surfaces through the moving of a profile around the helix, the two elements defining such a surface can be distinguished: the profile and the helix. The numerical determination of the profile of the disc type tool drawn on an analytical method with a large number of points [1- (the number reaches even 1500 in some cases) implies a great effort so that the technician can verify the correctness of results, even in the present case when there is the possibility of the numerical determination through the resolution of the inverse problem of the frontal profile of the complex helicoidal surface. In order to facilitate this work and to give the possibility of introducing some new profiles in the projection system, some methods of grapho-analytical determination have been conceived to process the profiles of the complex helicoidal surfaces, as well as the profiles of the helicoidal surfaces for a given tool profile. This paper presents the graphic-analytical determination of the disc tool profile designed to dress the complex helicoidal surfaces. The methods referred to by using the possibilities provided by the programming environment AutoCAD and its development languages allow to determin numerically the profile of the disc-cutter with a high precision, above the precision level required in practice.

In this work there is carried out an investigation of tooth different pitches with the purpose to increase a technological system vibration resistance at processing by end mills with a variable pitch and using elements of an operation modal analysis (OMA). An experiment is carried out in the course of which there are performed tests for the level definition of vibrations and resonance frequencies of technological system oscillations at cutting by an end mill with a constant and varied pitch. The work results show that the average level of vibrations at the work with a mill with a constant pitch is higher than at the work with a mill with a varied one. The existence of some own frequencies in one direction for a mill with a constant pitch of teeth is defined that is possible in the systems with a great number of degrees of mobility. At the same time for a mill with a varied pitch the oscillations were observed only at one frequency of own oscillations in one direction. In this connection a possibility of resonance oscillations decreases. During the work of the mill with a varied pitch the vibration waves with different length appear on the surfaces of cutting. A developed physical model of a technological system oscillation process at the work with a mill with a varied pitch shows that with the increase of a circular pitch the resultant oscillation displacements decrease.

Introduction. The technology of investigation of screw propellers complex surfaces, which include the marine and aircraft propellers of vehicles, mechatronic profilers for the implementation of reverse engineering, is considered. A review of the scientific literature shows that at present the problem of monitoring complex surfaces of products at various stages of its life cycle requires further research, since the use of available devices and methods does not always provide the necessary accuracy, technological effectiveness and sufficient information on measurements. The purpose of the work is to develop a new technology for studying complex surfaces of propellers, which include marine and aircraft propellers of vehicles by means of a mechatronic profilograph to implement reverse engineering. Methods. The paper considers the implementation of the innovative technology for studying complex surfaces of propellers using the developed mechatronic profilograph. This ingenious mechatronic profilograph is designed to measure the profile and study the shape of complex surfaces of various products, as well as to determine the geometric and morphological parameters of these surfaces. On the basis of theoretical studies the main design and technological parameters are found and the hyperbolic dependence of the angular rate of the laser sensor movement on the scanning radius is determined for the developed mechatronic profilograph. For example, if a constant pitch of the trajectory along the Archimedes spiral is 2 mm, the value of the sensor angular rate should gradually decrease from the maximum value of 2 rad/s to the minimum value of 0.574 rad/s, i.e. by 3.484 times. Results and discussion. It is revealed that the use of cylindrical coordinates for processing the obtained data by a profilograph is logical and has a number of advantages. An express analysis of the propeller surfaces with rotary symmetry is carried out and differences in the shapes of the surfaces of the propeller blades by deviation values in the longitudinal and transverse directions for different radii are established. On the basis of the experimental data, a two-factor power model describing deviations with a determination coefficient of 0.967 is obtained, according to its analysis, it is clear that on average the angle of deviation in the perpendicular direction to the radius  - increases from 0 to 0.3, and the angle of deviation along the radius  increases from 0 to 5.4.
