Turbojet engines are an incredible piece of 20th century engineering that except for some edge cases, have mostly been replaced by Turbofans.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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

As turbine blades experience high temperatures they can begin to elongate and rub up against the engine’s case wall. Credit: Australian Transport Safety Board Modern turbine engines are reliable when ...

Military researchers are set to use high performance supercomputing to develop the first physics-based virtual twin of an integrated gas turbine engine in a Defense Department-supported effort aligned ...
