Abstract: Online lineofsight (LOS) pyrometer is used on certain jet engines for diagnosis and control functions such as hotblade detection, hightemperature limiting, and conditionbased monitoring. Hot particulate bursts generated ...

Abstract: Gas turbines overall efficiency enhancement requires further increasing of the firing temperature and decreasing of cooling flow usage. Multihole (or effusion, or full-coverage) film cooling is widely used for hot gas path ...

Abstract: A Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)funded multicolor pyrometry (MCP) experiment was carried out on a governmentprovided aircraft engine to study the nature of hot particulate bursts generated from the ...
