Abstract: One promising pathway for carbon capture and utilization is represented by the coupling of chemical looping cycles with liquid fuel synthesis processes. Methanol is an interesting fuel for gas turbines engines, due to its ...

Abstract: One of the main reasons for gas turbines’ performance losses is the deposition of dirt on the compressor blades. Dirt deposit has to be periodically removed to keep the engine performance as high as possible. This is the ...

Abstract: Interest in using renewably produced, partially cracked ammonia in gas turbines is gaining traction, but challenges relating to emissions of NOx and unburned ammonia remain. This work progresses existing research on using ...

Abstract: In this paper we discuss a computational method focused on the prediction of unsteady aerodynamics, adequate for industrial turbomachinery. Here we focus on a single rotor device selected from a new family of large tunnel ...

Abstract: The combustion process of both pure NH3 and a NH3/H2 fuel blends is here analyzed using two kinetics processors, i.e., Chemkin-Pro-and CANTERA: detailed kinetic mechanisms have been tested and compared in terms of laminar ...

Abstract: Online water washing represents an operation strategy commonly used to reduce compressor performance deterioration due to blade fouling. Since this kind of washing is applied when the machine operates close to full load ...
