Turbojet engines are an incredible piece of 20th century engineering that except for some edge cases, have mostly been replaced by Turbofans. Still, even the most basic early designs were ...

Turbophase enables combustion turbine owners and power grids to increase flexibility, power, and efficiency, which is critical at a time when dispatch of renewable energy is growing. Combustion ...

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 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 ...

Pratt & Whitney and Honeywell are exploring the unique technologies needed to create an efficient, 500-shp.-class heavy-fuel engine that could be used to power future unmanned aerial rotorcraft. Under ...

A compressorless gas turbine built by researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) ...

MTU Aero Engines which manufactures and repairs commercial and military engines is applying technology from Europe's CLEAN environmental aero-engine research programme to Pratt & Whitney's geared ...

An inlet air cooling (IAC) system offers one of the most cost-effective ways to improve gas turbine (GT) performance—especially during the peak hours of hot summer months. After all, GT output depends ...

Problem: Steam turbines generate most of the world’s electricity, and approximately 42% in the US [1]. Keeping them in operation is vital. Condensation in the low-pressure stage can result in ...
