Turbojet engines are an incredible piece of 20th century engineering that except for some edge cases, have mostly been replaced by Turbofans.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 ...
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 ...
During the 1990’s, some power plants experimented with fog-based power augmentation by overspraying fog into the compressor – known as wet compression. The results were impressive. They reported a ...
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.
The concept of an aircraft powered by a gas turbine engine with an inlet, compressor, combustor, turbine and nozzle, was conceived in 1929 by Frank Whittle, a Royal Air Force pilot and engineer who ...
After a half century of R&D, the turbine jet engine is now more powerful, efficient, and relatively quiet. Development has also pushed the envelope in one other dimension: jet engines are getting ...
