Slash Fan Fiction in China: Negotiating Gender and Sexuality in Chinese Female Fan Communities and Their Fan Texts.
Slash fan fiction, a fan-generated literature centring on male-male romantic and/or erotic relationships based on characters from media texts, is widely popular in China. Analysing the Chinese Harry Potter (HP) slash fandom on the Slash Fan Fiction Network (SFFN, pseudonym), this thesis examines …

Towards a silent fan: an investigation of low-speed fan aeroacoustics
The noise (unwanted sound) from fans of all sizes, operating in close proximity to people, can be a design constraint due to annoyance or, in the worse cases, health damage. Of the total noise, aeroacoustic noise – produced by unsteadiness in the air – often represents a significant source and is …

Distortion Tolerant Fan Design
… a fuel burn reduction of up to 15%. However, the fans need to operate in severely distorted flow, which affects the blades’ mechanical integrity, aerodynamic efficiency and stability. The aim of this thesis is to understand the impact of strengthening rotor blades on aerodynamic performance, …

Variable pitch fan aerodynamics
Variable pitch fans could enable reduced fuel burn, low fan pressure ratio turbofan engines by extending fan stage operating range and reducing weight and drag by eliminating thrust reversers. The work in this thesis looks to further understanding of the aerodynamic performance of variable pitch …

Fan fiction, fandoms, and literature: or, why it’s time to pay attention to fan fiction
… age is the growing popularity and visibility of fandoms and their creation and dissemination of derivative works, such as fan fiction. While fan fiction in its modern form can easily be traced back to the early days of Star Trek and fan made "zines," it is now perhaps the most visible and well …

The Internet World of Fan Fiction
Fan fiction, the most popular creative outlet for fans, allows the amateur writer an opportunity to be published and receive immediate feedback from peers. As educators, we can learn from the fan communities as they participate in online activities, especially fan fiction. Students are more likely …

A QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF NASCAR FAN IDENTITY
… (National Association of Stock Car Racing) fan. Specifically, the researcher examined how NASCAR fans create their sport fan identity, how being a NASCAR fan influences their overall identity, and the social and cultural aspects associated with being a NASCAR fan. The participants consisted …

Vibration Analysis of a Fan/Compressor Blade
… thesis is the vibration analysis of compressor/fan blade using three-dimensional finite element analysis together with various analytical approaches. First, the analytical solutions were established using various analytical methods, Bernoulli-Euler, Rayleigh, Rayleigh-Ritz, two-dimensional …

Smoothing PV output fluctuation using cooling fan
… electrical consumer in buildings such as cooling fan, and to make the overall current draw steadily from the system (consumer + PV output), without fast intermittency. For absorbing PV output intermittency we need a consumer which we can control its usage rapidly and smoothly; a consumer which …

Experimental investigation of an aspirated fan stage
… This concept is validated through an aspirated fan stage experiment performed in the MIT Blowdown Compressor Facility. The fan stage was designed to produce a pressure ratio of 1.6 at a throughflow adiabatic efficiency of 89% at a rotor tip speed of 750 ft/s. Aspiration equal to 0.5% of the …

Fan noise reduction from a supersonic inlet
… was conducted to investigate the radiation of fan noise through a supersonic inlet. A scaled-down model of an axisymmetric, mixed-compression, supersonic inlet (P-inlet) was used in conjunction with a 10.4 cm (4.1 in) diameter turbofan engine simulator as the noise source. The tests were …

LDV measurements in a Navy CPS fan
New ventilation fans for Navy ships need to filter chemical agents from the supply air. This requires much greater pressure ratios than in earlier fans. This research was conducted to understand the performance of these new fans. LDV measurements of axial and tangential velocities were made in a …
