Abstract: Traditionally, engine performance has been simulated based on nondimensional maps for compressors and turbines. Component characteristic maps assume by default a given state of inlet conditions ...

Abstract: Specification of a turbocharger for a given engine involves matching the turbocharger performance characteristics with those of the piston engine. Theoretical considerations of matching turbocharger ...

Abstract: This paper presents transient-flow component models for the prediction of the transient response of gas turbine cycles. The application is to predict the transient response of a small solar-powered ...
