Interests
A microwave telemetry technique for making wireless measurements
in reciprocating and rotating machinery has been developed.
The technique is being used to study a variety of phenomena
in both automotive torque converters and I. C. engines.
Cavitation
signatures, turbine blade strain, torque converter noise,
and static pressure maps on the suction side of the stator
blade are being studied in separate projects. Static pressure
maps on other blade elements, thermal maps, and flow visualization
of the cavitation zones are planned for the future.
Piston
thermal loading is also studied in a high-speed direct-injection
diesel. Fast-response surface thermocouples are used to measure
crank angle-resolved surface temperature and calculate instantaneous
surface heat flux. The same sensors
are being used to identify spray impingement signatures on
the piston crown of the running diesel.
