GT2022-82180 Experimental investigation into oil film thickness and behaviour near an aero-engine bearing (2022)
Conference Proceeding

In an aero-engine transmission system, bearings are used for shaft location and load support. These bearings are housed in bearing chambers and oil is supplied to the chamber for lubrication and cooling. To achieve the targets of ACARE Flightpath 205...

Thermoacoustic Electricity Generator for Rural Dwellings in Developing World (2021)
Conference Proceeding

Thermoacoustic seems to be a promising technology for waste heat recovery (Blok in J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 123:3541–3541, 2008;Abdoulla-Latiwish et al. in Energy 134:1107–1120, 2017;) and are subject to steadily growing interest, particularly in the fiel...

Numerical Optimisation of the Regenerator of a Multi-stage Travelling Wave Thermoacoustic Electricity Generator (2021)
Conference Proceeding

In a travelling wave thermoacoustic engine, the regenerator is the heart of the engine [1], where the thermal interaction between the working gas and the solid material takes place. Unlike the stack in standing wave engine, the regenerator is more of...

Experimental investigation of oil shedding from an aero-engine ball bearing at moderate speeds (2017)
Conference Proceeding

In civil aero-engine transmission system bearings are used for shaft location and load support. An experimental test facility in the University of Nottingham's Gas Turbine Transmissions Research Centre (G2TRC) was designed and commissioned to investi...

Oil film thickness measurements on surfaces close to an aeroengine ball bearing using optical techniques (2017)
Conference Proceeding

In a civil aero-engine transmission system a number of bearings are used for shaft location and load support. A bespoke experimental test facility in the University of Nottingham's Gas Turbine and Transmissions Research Centre (G2TRC) was created to...

Experimental Investigation Into Crater Morphology for Droplets Impinging on a Moving Film (2017)
Conference Proceeding

Experimental investigation into droplet impingement upon moving films using high speed video and thermal imaging (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Aeroengine bearing chambers are geometrically complex, typically containing shafts, bearings, seals and stationary components. Oil is supplied for lubrication and cooling and so the chamber contains a highly rotating two-phase (oil/air) flow where th...
