A serious problem in the development of reusable liquid-propellant rocket engines (LRE) is provision a high resource and reliability gas turbines turbopump, which supply fuel to combustion chamber. This can be solved by reducing level pressure pulsations interaction zone turbine rotor-stator dynamic loads acting on working stator blades. In this regard, useful tool method numerical simulation u...

The new semi-experimental method for simulation of the turbine flow meters rotation in the transitional flow has been developed. The method is based on the experimentally established exponential low of changing of dimensionless relative turbine gas meter rotation frequency and meter inertia time constant. For experimental evaluation of the meter time constant special facility has been developed...

Compressor intercooling has traditionally been employed to reduce compressor work and augment gas turbine output power. Conventional intercooling schemes are usually applied through nonmixed heat exchangers between two compressor stages or by cooling the outside of the compressor casing. Any cooling schemes that may affect the flow field inside the compressors have not been favorably considered...

Many factors influence the quality of turbine meter flow measurement. Recognizing these factors allows a user to optimize the flow measurement performance of a turbine metering system. In order to ensure that turbine meters in the field are operating at their best, turbine metering stations must be properly designed, calibrated, installed, and maintained on a regular basis. This paper explains ...

This paper presents the numerical and experimental investigation of a straight core annular diffuser normally used in marine gas turbine combustor. The flow in the annular diffuser has been simulated by solving the equations for conservation of mass and momentum. For turbulence modeling the standard k-ε model is employed and the predicted results have been validated with experiments. A five-hol...

Biomass based Indirectly Heated combined heat and power plant can be an excellent option for community scale power generation. The thermal performance of such a plant employing air-turbo generator block and bottoming steam turbine block has been analyzed over a range of pressure ratio (2-16) and for different turbine inlet air temperatures (1073, 1273 and 1373K). The conventional GT combustion ...
