6. Numerical studies of flame stabilization relevant to gas turbine engines using methane and e-fuels
Sammanfattning : The current society undergoes a global energy transformation from fossil fuels to renewable energy. The alternative energy sources to fossil fuels are key factors to accelerate the transition towards a sustainable energy system. Among those, electrofuels (e-fuels) is a promising group that remarkably benefits overall carbon neutrality. LÄS MER
7. Power cycles with ammonia-water mixtures as working fluid
Sammanfattning : It is of great interest to improve the efficiency of powergenerating processes, i.e. to convert more of the energy in theheat source to power. This is favorable from an environmentalpoint of view and can also be an economic advantage. LÄS MER
8. Machinability variations in Alloy 718 —With focus on machining of turbine components
Sammanfattning : In gas turbine engine, nickel base alloy, such as Alloy 718, accounts for almost half of the total material requirement. Nickel-base superalloys are used for gas turbine components mainly because of their outstanding strength and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures (> 550°C). LÄS MER
9. The Influence of Flow Leakage Modelling on Turbomachinery Blade Forcing Predictions
Sammanfattning : Vibrations in turbomachinery engine components are undesirable as they put the structural integrity of the components at risk and can lead to failure during the lifetime of the turbomachinery engine. Vibrations arising from aerodynamic forces and stability of turbomachinery blades is assessed in the discipline of aeromechanics. LÄS MER
