... experiences sinusoidal fluctuation (thermal striping). For this purpose, transient stress intensity factor (SIF) range of a circumferential crack in a finite-length thick-walled cylinder with rotation-restrained edges, under thermal striping, was analyzed. It was assumed that the fluid temperature changes...

... having response time of about a microsecond. The heat transfer was computed from the measured temperature-time curves. It was found that the wear-reducing additive gradually reduced the surface temperature fluctuation from about 950°C to about 600°C, and reduced heat transfer per round from about 950 kJ...
