A gas turbine engine is a device that is designed to convert the thermal energy of a fuel into some form of useful power, such as mechanical (or shaft) power or a high-speed thrust of a jet. The ...

Technical difficulties were never fully overcome, the increasing cost of fuel made gas turbine cars uneconomic to run, and meanwhile by the 1960s the piston engine had improved immeasurably over ...

Engine inlet flow is uniform. Any distortion will affect compressor performance and will give an erroneous mass flow measurement. At worst, vortices may be shed from the floor or walls causing high ...

We’re introduced to the traditional two-stroke diesel engine as thermally efficient but not smooth-running, and then the gas turbine as smooth but much more inefficient. The free piston engine ...

Then, the Abrams stands out from most other MBTs with its unique powerplant: the Avco-Lycoming AGT1500 gas turbine engine.

As a core part of the project, Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI), based in Kobe and Tokyo, is supplying RWE, a major German electric power company, with its latest hydrogen gas turbine ...

Optimizing the airflow within turbine engines is critical in reaching peak efficiency and performance. Airflow management guarantees that the engine operates within the design parameters, maximizing ...

There’s just one engine available, a 2.5-litre petrol-hybrid badged RC 300h. Lexus quotes 8.6 seconds to 62mph and top speed is limited to just 118mph. The hybrid's CVT gearbox is particularly ...

If hot-air engines and inflammable gas engines fail as yet to furnish power comparable to .hat which steam affords, without a very disproportionate increase of bulk, and for high powers fail to ...

Buffalo Turbine rolled out the new Cyclone KB7 and Cyclone MEGA3 tow-behind models, which is 7 inches shorter and nearly 40 ...

Otherwise, we might’ve never gotten to see someone turn a helicopter’s turbine engine into a completely lag-free turbo that ...

The global commitment to cut greenhouse-gas ... engines and wind turbines, and all information and technologies are shared through their Research and Innovation Center. This includes a research ...
