Design of gas turbine compressor flow path components, especially in concept phases, has traditionally relied upon analysis-only methodologies to down-select the final design configuration. This final ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Gas turbine engines often are considered the “heart” of airplanes and ships. Now, Purdue University innovators looking for new solutions to reduce emissions and enhance ...

GE researchers developing an artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)- enabled inverse design framework that allows performance metrics to create more optimized designs for industrial ...

The gas turbine is one of the most widely used forms of propulsion systems for modern aircraft engines. The engine’s core—defined as the compressor, burner, and turbine—is also known as the gas ...

Pre-swirl systems are a critical component in modern gas turbine engines, designed to condition the cooling airflow before it reaches the turbine rotor blades. By imparting a controlled rotational ...

The Greek power system provides an interesting energy transition case study. Lignite, the lowest-ranked coal in terms of heat content, was for many years the leading source of power generation in ...

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md.-- A team of U.S. Army and academic researchers developed a novel design to automatically adjust aircraft engine rotor blade positions while already in-flight, a tactic ...

The history of the gas turbine can be traced back to 150 BC, when a Greek inventor, philosopher, and geometrician, Hero, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, invented a toy called the “Aeolipile.” The toy ...
