Understanding the off-design engine behavior is very important for the life cycle management of gas turbines because overhaul interval must be predicted accurately to minimize engine down time and maintenance costs. An off-design thermodynamic model has been developed for twin-shaft engines to obtain mean-line temperature distribution to be used in a prognostics system. A semi-empirical projecting approach was adopted to compute the two-dimensional temperature distribution for the gas path components. This temperature profile was then fed into the structural analysis and damage modeling modules of the prognostics system to predict the fracture critical location and crack initiation life of an A 250 integrally cast bladed disc (blisk). Comparison of the twin shaft model with GasTurb results showed that the model predicts the temperature profile within +/− 8K. The life prediction results from the prognostics system also match closely with the field data.

The term “gel”, in the jargon of the plastics film industry, may refer to any inclusion that produces a visible artifact in a polymeric film. Although they can occur in any plastic product, gels are a principle concern in films where they detract from the cosmetic appearance of the product and may compromise its mechanical strength by acting as local stress concentrators. Many film gels are small spheres or ellipsoids less than one millimeter in diameter whereas other gels are fusiform-shaped and may reach several centimeters in length. The actual composition of gel inclusions may vary from miscellaneous inorganics (i.e. glass and mineral particles) and processing additives to heavily oxidized, charred or crosslinked polymer. The most commonly observed gels contain polymer differing from the bulk of the sample in its melt viscosity, density or molecular weight.Polymeric gels are a special concern in polyethylene films. Over the years and with the examination of a variety of these samples three predominant polymeric species have been observed: density gels which have different crystallinity than the film; melt-index gels in which the molecular weight is different than the film and crosslinked gels which are comprised of crosslinked polyethylene.

Abstract Fixed, placed at regular distances inductors for induction heating of a rotating steel cylinder do not provide sufficiently uniform temperature profile along cylinder axis required by modern technologies,. The article examines the influence of inductors movement along the cylinder axis on the reduction of pick-to- pick temperature amplitude.
