This conference paper offers a detailed exploration of the fully coupled CFD simulation of a KJ66 micro gas turbine (MGT) engine—an innovative approach that enhances the accuracy and fidelity of 3D ...

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 ...

Turbo charger Jet Engines have long been considered one of the holy grails of backyard engineering. This is with good reason – they’re hard to build, and even harder to run. Many a turbo has met an ...

Larimer County commissioners have cleared the way for Platte River Power Authority to construct five jet-engine gas turbines as part of its plan to shore up other energy sources as its coal plants are ...

Give it wheels and a steering mechanism, and people will try to power it with anything they can. Visionary (and not-so-visionary) tinkerers and engineers have experimented with everything from steam ...

The turbines will provide up to 200 megawatts of electricity when renewable sources are unavailable. Environmental groups raised concerns about increased emissions, particularly during the overlap ...
