Abstract: Westinghouse experience in burning heavy residual fuels in gas turbines dates back 25 years when such fuels were burned in a 2000 hp turbine powering a locomotive. In this paper we present ...

Abstract: With an increasing interest in the burning of heavy fuels in gas turbines there is also concern with the precise determination of the corrosive effects which may arise from the use of these ...

Abstract: Effects of temperature and contaminant levels on the high-temperature corrosion of superalloys used in gas turbines were investigated using pressurized passages which simulate the operating conditions ...

Abstract: High temperatures and rotative speeds of future U. S. Army aircraft propulsion systems will impose increasingly severe operating requirements on oil-lubricated engine bearings and associated seals. ...

Abstract: Results of an investigation into the levels of oxides of nitrogen in Westinghouse gas turbine exhausts are presented. Various methods of controlling the amounts of these emissions were considered. ...

Abstract: A number of commercially available chemical additives for utilization in modern high temperature gas turbines were evaluated for their corrosion and deposit inhibiting characteristics. The evaluation ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the relative merits of various fuels for magnetohydrodynamic power systems in which the MHD generator operates on combustion products and is coupled with a steam plant or ...

Abstract: This paper is a report on the development of an experimental MHD electrical generator which derives its energy from the combustion of a liquid fuel and oxygen. The fuel burned is a number ...
