flow in the first two-stage of v 94.2 gas turbine is simulated numerically. in this turbine, the second stator is clocked relative to the first stator to different positions. steady-state analysis was carried out by varying the circumferential relative position of the consecutive stator vanes to study the effects of the clocking on turbine performance. a density based compressible inviscid flow...

determination of the starter torque-speed diagram is a major task in the design or selection of a proper gas turbine starter. in this paper, the maximum power of the mgt-40 gas turbine starter was calculated based on the dynamics of the rotor, start-up logic, and compressor map. in a recent research, the pressure ratio was assumed as a linear function of the rotor speed and the required starter...

This paper is based on a recent paper presented in the 2007 IEEE SMC conference by the same authors [1], discussing an approach to predicting energy output from an instream tidal turbine farm. An in-stream tidal turbine is a device for harnessing energy from tidal currents in channels, and functions in a manner similar to a wind turbine. A group of such turbines distributed in a site is called ...

A new composite turbine control architecture that consists of feedforward and feedback parts based on the upwind speed measurements and wind speed measurements at the turbine site, respectively, is described. The algorithm starts with preprocessing of a low-rate sampled upwind speed via the spline interpolation method. A run-ahead model driven by the signals from a preprocessing block models th...

ABSTRACT Blade failure is a common problem of a steam turbine and it’s failure in-service results in safety risks, repair cost and non operational revenue losses. Thus, the reliability of these blades is very important for the successful operation of a steam turbine. Dynamic analysis of a steam turbine blade in computational environment is carried out in the present work. In order to gain physi...

A building design of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) was presented in the article. The construction and operating principle of a wind turbine were described therein. Two VAWT turbine models were compared, i.a. Darrieus and Lenz2, taking their strengths and weaknesses into consideration. 3D solid models of turbine components were presented with the use of SolidWorks software. Using CFD method...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the performance of a specially designed micro wind turbine for urban environment where the wind speed is usually low. Differing from the traditional wind turbine that can be connected directly to the grid, the micro wind turbine is linked to a small generator and mainly used for local applications. The advantage of the micro wind turbine is that, apart fr...

The high-speed dental air-turbine handpieces are widely used in the dentistry as a tool for cutting and drilling a tooth. The advanced existing high-speed dental air-turbine handpieces were investigated to design the high performance dental air-turbine handpiece. The coupler and air-turbine of the dental air-turbine handpiece was designed using computational analysis. The computational domain o...

Wind turbine is a technology which converting wind energy to electric power. Wind energy is easily accessible anywhere in the world and is one of renewable energy. However, in Kuala Terengganu, the lower average wind speed become one of the factors wind turbine has not been used widely as alternative method for generating the electric power. Thereby, small scale wind turbine which can generate ...

Ducted-fan tail-sitter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide versatility and unique benefits, attracting significant attention in various applications. This study focuses on developing a safe reinforcement learning method for back-transition control between level flight mode hover ducted-fan UAVs. Our enables transition with minimal altitude change time while adhering to the velocity constrai...
