A gas turbine engine is a device that is designed to convert the thermal energy of a fuel into some form of useful power, such as mechanical (or shaft) power or a high-speed thrust of a jet. The ...

Technical difficulties were never fully overcome, the increasing cost of fuel made gas turbine cars uneconomic to run, and meanwhile by the 1960s the piston engine had improved immeasurably over ...

Engine inlet flow is uniform. Any distortion will affect compressor performance and will give an erroneous mass flow measurement. At worst, vortices may be shed from the floor or walls causing high ...

We’re introduced to the traditional two-stroke diesel engine as thermally efficient but not smooth-running, and then the gas turbine as smooth but much more inefficient. The free piston engine ...

As a core part of the project, Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI), based in Kobe and Tokyo, is supplying RWE, a major German electric power company, with its latest hydrogen gas turbine ...

Then, the Abrams stands out from most other MBTs with its unique powerplant: the Avco-Lycoming AGT1500 gas turbine engine.

There’s just one engine available, a 2.5-litre petrol-hybrid badged RC 300h. Lexus quotes 8.6 seconds to 62mph and top speed is limited to just 118mph. The hybrid's CVT gearbox is particularly ...

If hot-air engines and inflammable gas engines fail as yet to furnish power comparable to .hat which steam affords, without a very disproportionate increase of bulk, and for high powers fail to ...

Optimizing the airflow within turbine engines is critical in reaching peak efficiency and performance. Airflow management guarantees that the engine operates within the design parameters, maximizing ...

Salomon S, Avigad G, Purshouse RC, Fleming PJ: Gearbox design for uncertain load requirements using active robust optimization, Engineering Optimization, 48, pp 652-671, 2016. Zaidan MA, Mills AR, ...

The engine itself is almost completely conventional. It is a Rolls-Royce AE-2100A gas turbine, a design used widely on regional aeroplanes around the world. What is wholly unusual about it is the ...

Both diesel and gasoline engines burn fuel to produce power, but they do it in different ways. While a gas engine uses spark ...
