A Silicon-Based Micro Gas Turbine Engine for Power Generation

This paper reports on our research in developing a micro power generation system based on gas turbine engine and piezoelectric converter. The micro gas turbine engine consists of a micro combustor, a turbine and a centrifugal compressor. Comprehensive simulation has been implemented to optimal the component design. We have successfully demonstrated a silicon-based micro combustor, which consist...

Gas Turbine Engine Behavioral Modeling

This paper develops and validates a power flow behavioral model of a gas turbine engine with a gas generator and free power turbine. “Simple” mathematical expressions to describe the engine’s power flow are derived from an understanding of basic thermodynamic and mechanical interactions taking place within the engine. The engine behavioral model presented is suitable for developing a supervisor...

Titanium in the Gas Turbine Engine

Gas-Dynamic Modeling of Gas Turbine Engine Components Collaborative Workflow

The aim of this article was the development of the gas-dynamic models allowing to calculate the working processes of the gas turbine engine (GTE) in the compressor, in the combustion chamber and in the turbine at the same time. The possibilities of software systems for complex engine workflow modeling are specified. The advantages and disadvantages of the presented methods are specified. The re...

Development and Testing of Microscale Silicon Heat Exchangers for the MIT Micro Gas-Turbine Engine

Micro-scale silicon heat exchangers were designed, modeled using conventional heat transfer and fluid mechanics correlations, fabricated in the MIT Microtechnologies Laboratory, and tested as part of the MIT micro-gas turbine engine project. Heat transfer and pressure drop experiments were carried out to measure the performance of these heat exchangers, and to validate the predictions of the mo...
