Abstract: It is already well known that alcohols can be burned in open-cycle gas turbines by direct firing in the combustor. This paper demonstrates however, that there are significant improvements in ...

Abstract: An earlier study demonstrated the theoretical potential of the concept of injecting methanol into a gas turbine compressor inlet as a means of increasing cycle thermal efficiency. To attain the ...

Abstract: This paper considers the problem of secondary flow generation in a blade passage resulting from the presence of end-wall boundary layers at the passage inlet. These boundary layers are represented ...

Abstract: It has been demonstrated by previous researchers that an approximate value of the bulk flow velocity through the spark plug gap of a running spark ignition engine may be deduced from the ...
