The integral components of heat exchangers and in particular the tubes, tubesheets and
tube-to-tubesheet joints have vital roles in the proper functioning of this equipment. Several …

Wind blades are the most expensive parts of wind turbines made from fibre-reinforced
polymer composites. The blades play a critical role on the energy production, but they are …

In this study, the water droplet erosion (WDE) behaviour of Ti–6Al–4V and mechanisms of
material damage were investigated. The WDE test was conducted in an advanced rig in …

Carburized gears are applied extensively in large-scale heavy duty machines such as wind
turbines. The carburizing and quenching processes not only introduce variations of …

Liquid impingement erosion has been known as mechanical degradation, where the original
material is removed progressively from a solid surface due to continued exposure to impacts …

In this study, the erosion behavior of aluminum material was tested in a pulsed-jet erosion
facility for a wind turbine blade, wherein the droplet behavior was simulated by a liquid slug …

Liquid droplet impingement (LDI) erosion on a rough surface was studied experimentally in
the initial stage of erosion using spray-jet impingement on various levels of sandpaper …

Abstract At the Institute of Thermal Turbomachinery and Machinery Laboratory (ITSM)
Stuttgart, the droplet impact erosion phenomenon has been simulated with the help of an …

The evolution of surface profiles during erosion caused by the continuous impact of a liquid
jet was studied using a water-jet apparatus. In this study, we focused on the erosion …

In this paper, liquid droplet impingement (LDI) erosion on the groove roughness of
aluminum (A1070) is studied both experimentally and numerically, to understand the …
