Abstract: A frequent cause of turbomachinery blade failure is excessive resonant response. The most common excitation source is the nonuniform flow field generated by inlet distortion, wakes and/or pressure ...

Abstract: The power output of a gas turbine (GT) is highly affected by ambient temperature. A higher ambient temperature will result in a lower power output, due to reduced inlet air density and mass flow rate. Therefore, GT power ...

Abstract: With increasing demand for power and with shortages envisioned especially during the peak load times during the summer, there is a need to boost gas turbine power. In Taiwan, most gas turbines operate in combined cycle ...

Abstract: Because of their high efficiency and very low emissions, fuel cells have been one of the choice areas of research in current energy development. The solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a type of high-temperature fuel cell. It ...
