Abstract: In order to achieve high aerodynamic efficiency of a turbine stage, it is crucial to identify the source of aerodynamic losses and understand the associated loss generation mechanisms. This helps a turbine designer to ...

Abstract: The influences of blade loading profile on wake convection and wake/wake interaction were studied in two different blade designs for high-pressure (HP) turbines (front-loaded (FL) and aft-loaded (AL)), installed in linear ...

Abstract: Abstract. This paper focuses on the conceptual design of an advanced closed brayton convertor (ACBC) with high temperatures for efficient power generation in space using Helium-Xenon (He-Xe) mixture as the working fluid. ...
