Abstract: Small and midsize gas turbines for distributed power generation have been widely used in recent years, with designers constantly seeking to improve efficiency by increasing operating temperatures. Therefore, accurate thermal ...

Abstract: The requirement for reduced emissions and the growing demand for gas turbine efficiency are in part met through increasing firing temperatures. However, development budgets leave only limited time for dedicated thermal ...

Abstract: A major portion of the development of an automotive powertrain system is devoted to robustness and durability testing to ascertain the viability of the design. For turbochargers, thermo-mechanical fatigue is often considered ...
