Assembly fit-up issue: investigation of a first stage high pressure gas turbine rotor
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2018)
A Gas Turbine engine generates
mechanical energy from a combustible fuel. This
mechanical energy could be converted into
electrical power by means of a rotating shaft as
opposed to the pressurized thrust generated on ...
Vertical Packaging Accumulator
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2018)
The beverage manufacturing process is
based on filling a product with a defined structure
or flexible structure. If that product is pasteurized,
there are different considerations that must be met,
such as the filling ...

order to reduce the electric ...
CFD Study to Analyze the Behavior of Secondary Flow Using Fillets
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2015)
Secondary flow are a series of vortex
created at the leading edge of the blade. These
vortexes decrease the efficiency of the turbine by
creating a non-uniform flow which will pass to
successive blade stages. The ...
