Abstract: Turbine inlet temperatures (TIT) of 1500–2000 K have become a sort of standard for most modern advanced applications. First-stage blades are obviously the most exposed components to such hot gases, and thus they need proper ...

Abstract: Abstract. Bifurcation is a ubiquitous design principle in nature, shaping the architecture of arteries, veins, airways, and plant branches. For centuries, researchers have sought the “optimal” branching law. As early as ...

Abstract: The aim of this work is to design a lightweight, creep-resistant blade for an axial single-stage micro-gas turbine. The selected process was casting of an intermetallic titanium/aluminum alloy. All the project phases are ...
