Abstract: Annual surveys of the gas turbine industry began in 1999. Over that time, the industry as a whole has seen steady growth with two large anomalies, including the plunge produced by the COVID-19 pandemic. In both the zoomed ...

Abstract: The gas turbine industry is facing the prospects of meeting proposed national and international targets for reducing carbon dioxide emissions and for the promotion of sustainable energy. The evolving role of gas turbines ...

Abstract: The gas turbine industry has had many successes, but this past year it has been dogged by the specter of two great mistakes—one that occurred, and another that is being threatened. Many groups are pushing

Abstract: In the family of heat engines, the gas turbine is unique in that it is used to produce two different kinds of useful power. By converting combusted fuel heat into work, a gas turbine engine can produce external shaft power ...

Abstract: In the last 10 years the growth of America’s natural gas fueled, gas turbine power plants have flourished in its lower 48 states. They are replacing older coal-fueled steam turbine power plants, ending a century’s-old ...

Abstract: Based on the success of several 2-D (latitude, longitude) linear barotropic instability models at matching some of the observed characteristics of the cloud level, polar region of the Venus atmosphere, a more realistic, ...

Abstract: Data from the Limb Infrared Monitor of the Stratosphere (LIMS) have been used to define zonally averaged basic-state temperature and zonal wind fields in the middle atmosphere for several periods during the winter of ...

Abstract: In recognition of the 50th anniversary of the ASME International Gas Turbine Institute’s annual gas turbine conference, TURBO EXPO ’05, this April 2005 issue of the Journal is devoted to papers ...

Abstract: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Glenn Research Center (GRC) has an extensive history in dynamic energy conversion dating back to the early 1960s. This legacy puts the GRC at the forefront of nuclear power ...

Abstract: Geopotential height fields, based on high vertical resolution radiometer measurements, have been used to infer the circulation in the stratosphere from 100 to 1 mb, in the Northern Hemisphere, on a daily basis during ...
