Performance Evaluation of Simple Aero Gas Turbine Cycle with Transpiration Cooling of Gas Turbine Blades

Aero gas turbine engines have been using mainly film cooling and convection cooling techniques. For operating at high gas temperature amongst different cooling options the transpiration cooling technique has emerged as the most promising technique to improve the gas turbine cycle performance by allowing higher turbine inlet temperatures. This paper investigates the advantages of transpiration c...

Performance assessment of a hybrid fuel cell and micro gas turbine power system

In this paper, a hybrid solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and micro gas turbine (MGT) power system is parametrically studied to evaluate the effect of different operating conditions. The SOFC/MGT power system includes SOFC reactor, combustion chamber, compressor and turbine units, and two heat exchangers. The effects of fuel utilization, temperature, and pressure are assessed on performance of t...

Gas Turbine Condition Monitoring and Diagnostics

Gas turbine monitoring and diagnostics belong to a common area of condition monitoring (health monitoring) of machinery and mechanical equipment such as spacecrafts, aircrafts, shipboard systems, various power plants and industrial and manufacturing processes. They can be considered as complex engineering systems and become more sophisticated during their further development that results in pot...

Aero-Thermal Research Particulars in Ultra-Micro Gas Turbines

Aerodynamics in turbo-components and matched combustor characteristics relating to the design of ultramicro gas turbines (UMGT) were presented. Some detailed analysis were provided for the effects of heat transfer, tip clearance and geometrical restriction imposed to UMGT flow passages, as well as a leading concept of combustor design to achieve micro flame structure for enhanced efficiency and...
