WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Gas turbine engines often are considered the “heart” of airplanes and ships. Now, Purdue University innovators looking for new solutions to reduce emissions and enhance ...

The gas turbine is one of the most widely used forms of propulsion systems for modern aircraft engines. The engine’s core—defined as the compressor, burner, and turbine—is also known as the gas ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract MATCHING studies of three turboprop engine configurations were made for flight conditions from sea-level static to 600 mph at 40,000 ft. It is ...

A turbocharger is the best power-adder by far. Not only do turbos harness otherwise wasted exhaust energy to drive the compressor, their modular nature lets compressor and turbine housings and wheels ...

Siemens — which designed and built this 375-MW gas turbine, said to be “the world`s biggest and most powerful” — will add the Rolls-Royce Energy assets, including aero-derivative gas turbine and ...

Proper air filtration is critical to the overall performance and reliability of gas turbines. Fuel costs approach 80 percent of the life cycle cost of electricity. Small gains in efficiency can mean ...

The history of the gas turbine can be traced back to 150 BC, when a Greek inventor, philosopher, and geometrician, Hero, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, invented a toy called the “Aeolipile.” The toy ...

Industrial gas turbine (IGT) manufacturers and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) personnel are continually seeking new ways to improve the performance and longevity of critical components.
