Computer program for prediction of axial flow turbine performance
Abstract
The report presents a computer program for prediction of performance of single-stage axial turbines of given geometry. The three-dimensional method developed by Vavra is applied, taking account of streamline curvatures and slopes, as well as enthalpy and entropy gradients in the solutions of the equation of motion, and of boundary layer thicknesses in the continuity equation. A choice among five different loss correlation methods and two flow angles correlations is offered. Loss coefficients and flow angles are automatically calculated from blading geometry and actual flow conditions for every streamline, according to the selected correlation method. (Author)

LEARNING AND PREDICTION OF RELATIONAL TIME SERIES
Tan, Kian-Moh Terence (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2013-03);Prediction of events is fundamental to both human and artificial agents. The main problem with previous prediction techniques is that they cannot predict events that have never been experienced before. This dissertation ... -
Prediction markets as a way to manage acquisition programs
Dishmon, Joshua M. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2011-06);Prediction markets generally are small-scale electronic markets that tie payoffs to measurable future events. They are similar to stock markets, where the "stocks" are outcomes or events rather than shares in a company. ... -
How long can an ecological model predict?
Chu, P.C. (Crimson Publishers, 2019);Prediction of ecological phenomenon needs three components: a theoretical (or numerical) model based on the natural laws (physical, chemical, or biological), a sampling set of the reality, and a tolerance level. Comparison ...
