Modeling an Evaporative Cooling System to Improve Gas Turbines Performance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Evaporative cooling systems are commonly used in thermoelectric plants to cool the air at gas turbines inlet, improving the performance of these engines. Normally, the evaporative cooling is modeled as adiabatic saturation ...
Influence of Variable Geometry Compressor on Transient Performance of Counter-Rotating Open Rotor Engines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work describes a methodology used for counter-rotating (CR) propellers performance estimation. The method is implemented in an in-house program for gas turbine performance prediction, making possible the simulation ...
Aerodynamic Analysis of Conventional and Boundary Layer Ingesting Propellers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The boundary layer ingestion (BLI) concept has emerged as a novel technology for reducing aircraft fuel consumption. Several studies designed BLI-fans for aircraft. BLI-propellers, although, have still received little ...
A Propeller Model for Steady-State and Transient Performance Prediction of Turboprop and Counter-Rotating Open Rotor Engines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes a methodology used for propeller performance estimation, which was implemented in an in-house modular program for gas turbine performance prediction. A model based on subsonic generic propeller maps ...
