Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Stator Grooves on Cooling of Generators, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Nouri Borujerdi, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
The aim of this thesis is experimentally and numerically investigation of annular flow between the inner rotating smooth surface and the outer stationary grooved surface with or without axial fluid flow. Mounting grooves on the surfaces is important in cooling of rotating machineries such as electric generators and rotating heat pipes. The effect of different parameters such as the air gap between the surfaces, the geometry of the grooves, axial flow and rotation speed are numerically and experimentally investigated. The experimental results with axial grooves show that the entrance length decreases up to 17% with increasing the grooves depth. The reason is enhancement of the mixing and the...
