HEAT-RESISTING MATERIALS FOR AVIATION GAS TURBINES

High Temperature Materials for Gas Turbines: The Present and Future

Increased operating temperatures and higher efficiency in gas turbines and jet engines can reduce CO2 emission, thus contributing to the prevention of global warming. To achieve this goal, it is essential to improve the properties of high temperature materials. Various Ni-base superalloys are used for high-temperature components, e.g., combustors and high-pressure turbine blades and vanes, that...

Optimization the Efficiency of Gas Turbines for Air Pollution Reduction

Increasing concerns about energy and emissions from fuel consumption in gas turbines has attracted many researchers to protect the environment and reduce pollutants in the world. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the increasing efficiency of three-stroke gas turbine operation based on the technical analysis of the operation of three-axis gas turbine cycles with non-design condi...

Crew resource management gold rush: resisting aviation imperialism.

What a welcome and timely question to ask: are we too solution focused in importing crew resource management (CRM) training into surgery? As a newly minted airline pilot and a professor at a faculty of medicine, I can see accusations of imperialism brewing. Grafting an off-the-shelf ‘solution’ onto an ongoing and wellestablished field of practice, without showing the evidence base to justify it...
