...Yiding Cao; Jian Ling With a substantially increased gas inlet temperature in modern gas turbines, the cooling of turbine disks is becoming a challenging task. In order to reduce the temperature at the disk rim, a new turbine disk incorporating radially rotating heat pipes has been proposed...

...T. A. Jankowski; F. C. Prenger; A. Razani A curved rotating heat pipe for use in motor and generator applications is studied experimentally. The heat pipe is built so that both the condenser and evaporator sections are parallel to the axis of rotation. The condenser section is close to the axis...
