Relative performance comparison between baseline labyrinth and dual-brush compressor discharge seals in a T-700 engine test

In separate series of T-700 engine tests, direct comparisons were made between the forward-facing labyrinth and dual-brush compressor discharge seals. Compressor speeds to 43,000 rpm, surface speeds to 160 m/s (530 ft/s), pressures to 1 MPa (145 psi), and temperatures to 680 K (765 F) characterized these tests. The wear estimate for 40 hr of engine operations was less than 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) of the Haynes 25 alloy bristles running against a chromium-oxide-coated rub runner. The pressure drops were higher for the dual-brush than for the forward-facing labyrinth seal, implying better seal characteristics and engine performance for the brush seal. Modification of the secondary flow path requires that changes in cooling air and engine dynamics be accounted for

Compressor speeds to 43 000 rpm, surface speeds to 160 m/s (530 ft/s), pressures to 1 MPa (145 psi), and temperatures to 680 K (765 F) characterized these tests. The wear estimate for 46 hr of engine operations was less than 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) of the Haynes 25 alloy bristles running against a chromium-carbide-coated rub runner. The pressure drops were higher for the dual-brush seal than for the forward-facing labyrinth seal and leakage was lower-with the labyrinth seal leakage being 2-1/2 times greater-implying better seal characteristics, better secondary airflow distribution, and better engine performance (3 percent at high pressure to 5 percent at lower pressure) for the brush seal. (However, as brush seals wear down (after 500 to 1000 hr of engine operation), their leakage rates will increase.) Modification of the secondary flow path requires that changes in cooling air and engine dynamics be accounted for

Coordination Modes of a Schiff Base Derived from Substituted 2-Aminothiazole with Chromium(III), Manganese(II), Iron(II), Cobalt(II), Nickel(II) and Copper(II) Metal Ions: Synthesis, Spectroscopic and Antimicrobial Studies

Transition metal complexes of Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) metal ions with general stoichiometry [ML2.2H2O] and [ML3], where M= Mn(II), Cr(III), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II), L= Schiff base derived from the condensation of 2-amino-4(4’-phenyl/methylphenyl)-5-methyl-thiazole with 4-acetyl-1(3-chloro phenyl)-3-methyl-2-pyrazoline-5-ones, have been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements and spectral techniques like IR, UV, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and Mass Spectra. All the complexes were found to be octahedral geometry. The ligand and its complexes have been screened for their antifungal and antibacterial activities against three fungi, i.e. Alternaria brassicae, Aspergillus niger and Fesarium oxysporum and two bacteria, i.e. Xanthomonas compestris and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
