High-sensitivity interferometry measurements of initial density distributions are reviewed for a wide range of gas-puff nozzles used in plasma radiation source (PRS) z-pinch experiments. Accurate gas distributions are required for determining experimental load parameters, modeling implosion dynamics, understanding the radiation properties of the stagnated pinch, and for predicting PRS performance in future experiments. For a number of these nozzles, a simple ballistic-gas-flow model (BFM) has been used to provide good physics-based analytic fits to the measured r, z density distributions. These BFM fits provide a convenient means to smoothly interpolate radial density distributions between discrete axial measurement locations for finer-zoned two-dimensional MHD calculations, and can be used to determine how changes in nozzle parameters and load geometry might alter implosion dynamics and radiation performance. These measurement and analysis techniques are demonstrated for a nested-shell nozzle used in Double Eagle and Saturn experiments. For this nozzle, the analysis suggests load modifications that may increase the K-shell yield.

A method is introduced to determine the depth distribution of the residual stresses in (Ti,Al)N films. The films were gradually stripped by chemical corrosion, an optical system was designed to test the curvature change of the specimens, and the depth distribution of the residual stresses was calculated. The results show that the residual stresses increase gradually from the interface of film/substrate and reach a maximum value at the middle region, then decrease until the surface.

Influence of diffuser vane position on dangerous blade vibration due to blade flow interactions at part load operating condition was investigated in a centrifugal compressor. By means of some measurement and analysis techniques a mechanism of interaction between blade vibration and circumferential flow condition in the impeller with vaned diffuser was determined, which is a cause of dangerous blade vibration in resonance. Experiments for the compressor with different radial diffuser positions have been performed to reduce the effect of the blade flow interaction and the dangerous blade vibration A quantitative estimate of the influence of vaneless space length between diffuser and impeller on the blade flow interaction was made. An optimal diffuser position with lower blade vibration and higher compressor characteristics was determined.
