Engineers have long battled a problem that can cause loud, damaging oscillations inside gas turbines and aircraft engines: ...

Combustor design simulation requires the resolution of complex geometry, turbulent flow patterns, heat transfer, and detailed chemistry. Although computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can simulate the ...

To supplement domestic natural gas supplies, the U.S. is expected to increase its dependence on offshore liquefied natural gas suppliers in the coming years. However, the composition and hydrocarbon ...

LEMONT, Ill. -- The U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Propulsion made an historic first with its experiment in a gas turbine combustor using X-rays. The data will ...

Georgia Tech researchers have created a new combustor (combustion chamber where fuel is burned to power an engine or gas turbine) designed to burn fuel in a wide range of devices with next to no ...

Real-time monitoring of flame instability can save gas turbine owners from millions of dollars in damage due to “combustor humming.” The development of dry low NOx (DLN) combustors for gas turbines ...

A combustor said to achieve emissions so low that they are “close to theoretical limits” has been developed under a NASA contract by the US Georgia Institute of Technology. Called the Stagnation Point ...

The next generation of gas turbines must meet society's demands for environmental protection. This means that future products must reduce emissions and have high efficiency. In order to address these ...

Just think about all the plastic people use every single day–bottles, Tupperware, packaging–the list goes on and on. Now imagine if all thatplasticwere diverted from the recycling plant or landfill ...
