Idlers are key load-bearing components in belt conveyors, and their proper functioning is essential for ensuring the continuous efficient operation of bulk material transportation systems. Traditional methods monitoring idler health typically based on a single modality, such as sound or vibration, which has limitations range accuracy. This study presents novel method accurately locating faulty idlers by fusing image audio modalities. approach achieves pixel-level segmentation guided signals,...

This paper presents a continued study on previously investigated novel winglet-shroud (WS) (or partial shroud) geometry for linear turbine cascade. Various widths of double-side winglets (DSW) and different locations shroud are considered. In addition, both plain tip full applied as the datum cases which were examined experimentally numerically. Total pressure loss viscous coefficients comparatively employed to execute quantitative analysis aerodynamic performance. The effectiveness various...

A comparative experimental and numerical analysis is carried out to assess the aerodynamic performance of a novel partial shroud in straight turbine cascade. This designed as combination winglet shroud. plain tip employed baseline case. pure also studied for comparison. Both experiments predictions demonstrate that this configuration has advantages over arrangement. Predicted results show that, relative blade with tip, using can lead reduction 20.89% mass-averaged total pressure coefficient...

This paper is a continuous study of previously investigated novel winglet-shroud (WS) tip configuration. Two additional sealing fins are fixed on the WS to further reduce leakage. configuration referred with seals (WSS) tip. Secondary flow structures and total pressure loss coefficients transverse plane downstream blade trailing edge measured. Flow in cascade also numerically simulated obtain more information fields. Compared tip, both experimental numerical results show that WSS can improve...
