Abstract: The development of modern gas turbines is accompanied by an extensive prototype testing. To evaluate performance, the engines are fitted with a substantial number of sensors measuring pressures, ...

Abstract: Performance calculation procedures for gas turbine engines are usually based on the performance characteristics of the engine components, and especially the turbo components are of major interest. ...

Abstract: The performance of gas turbines degrades over time due to deterioration mechanisms and single fault events. While deterioration mechanisms occur gradually, single fault events are characterized ...

Abstract: Aesthetic and ethical issues of building design are presented here to encourage meaningful discussion among today’s architectural engineering students and practitioners. The evaluative aesthetic ideas of scale, simplicity, ...
