An Experimental and Theoretical Study of the Subcritical BNL Reactor (open access)

An Experimental and Theoretical Study of the Subcritical BNL Reactor

Technical report outlining the theoretical study of the sub-critical BNL (Brookhaven National Laboratory) reactor, and a comparison of reactor performance with the purpose of presenting the experimental results of the experimental methods. Presents experimental results and and a detailed discussion of the experimental methods along with theoretical analysis and evaluation of the results.

Effect of blade-root fit and lubrication on vibration characteristics of ball-root-type axial-flow-compressor blades (open access)

Effect of blade-root fit and lubrication on vibration characteristics of ball-root-type axial-flow-compressor blades

Report presenting the vibration characteristics of several symmetrical ball-root-type blades simulating the mass and natural frequency of axial-flow-compressor blades under various mounting conditions by subjecting them to controlled periodic excitation and centrifugal loading. Results regarding loose single ball-root mounting, loose-lubricated, single ball-root mounting, double ball-root mounting, and damping measurements are provided.
