The application of modern computational fluid dynamics techniques for increasing the efficiency and stability of an axial compressor in an industrial gas turbine

This paper contains on-site test data of an axial compressor as part of an industrial gas turbine, as well as the process of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling, verification, research and modernization. The research method has been verified with actual test data gathered from the real gas turbine unit (GTU) test. The computational studies showed significant potential for improving aerodynamic efficiency and the surge margin of a compressor by better matching of inlet and outer groups of stages. A special design approach was used to improve aerodynamic parameters of the inlet system and certain middle stages. Computations made for the improved compressor model showed a 3% efficiency gain and 5% stall margin gain with possibilities for further modernization. © 2014 WIT Press.International Journal of Safety and Security Engineering;International Journal of Sustainable Development and Planning;WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environmen

Ion Beam Synthesis of InAs Nanocrystals in Crystalline Silicon

The formation of nanodimensional InAs crystallites on Si wafers was studied by the method of high fluence implantation of As and In ions with subsequent high temperature treatment. It was found that the size and depth distributions of the crystallites depend on both the implantation temperature and the annealing conditions. A broad band in an energy range of 0.75–1.1 eV was recorded in the photolumines cence spectra of the samples

Electromagnetic field of a charge asymptotically approaching spherically symmetric black hole

We consider a test charged particle falling onto a Schwarzschild black hole and evaluate its electromagnetic field. The Regge-Wheeler equation is solved analytically by approximating the potential barrier with Dirac delta function and rectangular barrier. We show that for asymptotically large time measured by a distant observer the electromagnetic field approaches the spherically symmetric electrostatic field exponentially fast. This implies that in the region accessible to a distant observer the initial state of separated charge and Schwarzschild black hole becomes asymptotically indistinguishable from the Reisnner-Nordstr\"om solution. Implications of this result for models with plasma accretion on black holes are discussed.7 aComment: 7 pages, 2 figure

Identification of corner separation modelling in axial compressor stage

The paper presents a study of corner separations in hub to blade region at various operation conditions towards compressor stall. It is known that for compressor flows with low or none separations computation fluid dynamics with RANS methods work quite well, however, for highly separated flows they are no longer entirely valid. Therefore, several criteria were applied for prediction and quantification of possible corner separation, and the main interest of this work is in predicting the separation just before it will actually happen by certain flow metrics, so these metrics can be further used as a 'pre-stall' criteria whilst the RANS CFD operating point still behave within its appropriate limits. Also the effect of shear lean is discussed in the presented context. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2020

Mechanisms of arsenic clustering in silicon

A model of arsenic clustering in silicon is proposed and analyzed. The main feature of the proposed model is the assumption that negatively charged arsenic complexes play a dominant role in the clustering process. To confirm this assumption, electron density and concentration of impurity atoms incorporated into the clusters are calculated as functions of the total arsenic concentration. A number of the negatively charged clusters incorporating a point defect and one or more arsenic atoms are investigated. It is shown that for the doubly negatively charged clusters or for clusters incorporating more than one arsenic atom the electron density reaches a maximum value and then monotonically and slowly decreases as total arsenic concentration increases. In the case of doubly negatively charged cluster incorporating two arsenic atoms, the calculated electron density agrees well with the experimental data. Agreement with the experiment confirms the conclusion that two arsenic atoms participate in the cluster formation. Among all present models, the proposed model of clustering by formation of doubly negatively charged cluster incorporating two arsenic atoms gives the best fit to the experimental data and can be used in simulation of high concentration arsenic diffusion.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures.
