Abstract: In the present paper, experimental work concerning the effect of water injection on a compressor stage is presented. The effect on compressor stage performance and stability is examined for ...

Abstract: The present paper examines the effect of water injection at the compressor inlet or between stages, on its operation. A wet compression model coupled with an engine performance model is used. ...

Abstract: A method giving the possibility for a more detailed gas path component fault diagnosis by exploiting the “zooming” feature of current performance modeling techniques is presented. A diagnostic ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method of modeling contra-rotating turbomachinery components for engine performance simulations. The first step is to generate the performance characteristics of such components. ...

Abstract: At present, nearly 100% of aviation fuel is derived from petroleum using conventional and well known refining technology. However, the fluctuations of the fuel price and the vulnerability of ...
