In ships, utility water can be produced from seawater through a vacuum evaporator instead of supplying from ports, and this solution will certainly allow extra load capacity for ships. In this application, the size of vacuum evaporators and their heat transfer areas are significant factors in terms of investment costs and the volume or weight capacity, which for ships are particularly important parameters. In the present research, the change of heat transfer areas of vacuum evaporators that are used to produce utility water was analyzed with respect to design parameters and the results from the thermodynamic analysis were evaluated to define the optimum heat transfer area. Because an analytical method has been employed in the definition of the optimum heat transfer area, the influence of design parameters on the evaporatorsize can be identified easily.

Purpose – This article is the fourth part of a serial studies about constant and variable compensations of the closed-type hydrostatic plane-pad bearing, which is presented for the double-action membrane-type restrictor and self-type compensation. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – The load capacity and static stiffness in thrust direction of the planar bearing is determined by the flow continuity equation which belongs to the same approaches as shown in previous parts of this serial studies. Findings – The results reveal that the appropriate range of recess pressure ratio and design parameters of bearing and restrictor for the infinite or maximum stiffness can be obtained. Also, the influence of design parameters on negative stiffness that should be avoided in bearing design is revealed in detail. Originality/value – The determination of design parameters of a double-action membrane-type restrictor can be yielded from finding results of this study for maximum stiffness in design of hydrostatic bearings.

AbstractThis paper presents an extension of the non-field analytical method—known as the method of Kulish—to solving heat transfer problems in domains with a moving boundary. This is an important type of problems with various applications in different areas of science. Among these are heat transfer due to chemical reactions, ignition and explosions, combustion, and many others. The general form of the non-field solution has been obtained for the case of an arbitrarily moving boundary. After that some particular cases of the solution are considered. Among them are such cases as the boundary speed changing linearly, parabolically, exponentially, and polynomially. Whenever possible, the solutions thus obtained have been compared with known solutions. The final part of the paper is devoted to determination of the front propagation law in Stefan-type problems at large times. Asymptotic solutions have been found for several important cases of the front propagation.

ABSTRACTThis paper is former part of serial studies to investigate the influence of design parameters of tapered-spool type restrictors on static characteristics of hydrostatic bearing. The flow rates passing restrictors can determine the static characteristics of hydrostatic bearings. In this part an analytical method which includes formulas and solving is utilized to simulate dimensionless flow rate in both single-action and double-action tapered-spool restrictors. The numerical results illustrate the variations of flow rates with respect to the change of pressure and pressure difference, respectively. The findings give that the design parameters of tapered-spool restrictors and the useful range of recess pressure. The following part will depend on this paper results to study load capacity and static stiffness of hydrostatic bearing compensated by tapered-spool restrictor.

In this paper, two new methods for obtaining the sonic conductance and the critical pressure ratio of pneumatic valves are proposed. Both methods use a chamber that can approximate isothermal conditions. This was achieved by filling the chamber with metal wire, which creates a larger heat transfer area and heat transfer coefficient. The sonic conductance and the critical pressure ratio are obtained by measuring the pressure in the chamber during charging and discharging. These methods take only seconds to perform and require less energy than the ISO 6358 procedure. The major factor in the error for the pressure response during the charging of the isothermal chamber is the upstream pressure change. Nevertheless, the sonic conductance can be determined within a 3% uncertainty. In addition, the sonic conductance calculated from the pressure response during the discharging of the chamber can be determined within a 1.2% uncertainty.

This paper presents a thermodynamic analysis for an irreversible Otto-Miller Cycle (OMC) by taking into consideration heat transfer effects and internal irreversibilities resulting from compression and expansion processes. In the analyses, the influences of the miller cycle ratio, combustion and heat loss constants and inlet temperature have been investigated relations with efficiency in dimensionless form. The dimensionless power output and power density and thermal efficiency relations have been computationally obtained versus the engine design parameters with respect to combustion and heat transfer constants. The results demonstrate that the heat transfer and combustion constants have considerable effects on the cycle thermodynamic performance. This situation theoretically verified for OMC.

Determination of thermal regimes of composite cylindrical bodies by analytical methods leads to the appearance of complex characteristic equations, the solution of which is the determination of eigenvalues. The article considers a relatively simple approximate analytical method for determining the eigenvalues of characteristic equations for a two-layer cylindrical body under boundary conditions of the third kind. This method can also be easily used in more complex formulations of heat conduction problems.
