Abstract: A common platform of wind and wave energy conversion should reduce upfront as well as maintenance costs relative to wave and offshore wind energy converters installed separately. For this cost reduction to happen, temporally ...

Abstract: The challenging engineering intricacies related to improving efficiency of a gas turbine engine come with the need to maximize the internal cooling of the turbine blade to withstand the high turbine inlet temperature. ...

Abstract: Wind energy has proven to be one of the most promising resources to meet the challenges of rising clean energy demand and mitigate environmental pollution. The global new installation of wind turbines in 2022 was 77.6 GW, ...

Abstract: The efficiency of a gas turbine engine is directly impacted by the turbine inlet temperature and the corresponding pressure ratio. A major strategy, aside from the use of costly high-temperature blade materials, is increasing ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of the application of an advanced thermodynamic model developed by the authors for the simulation of Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs). The model allows ORC simulation both for steady and transient ...

Abstract: Air pollution can have detrimental effects on gas turbine performance leading to blade fouling, which reduces power output and requires frequent cleanings. This issue is a fairly well-known phenomenon in the power industry. ...
