Combustor design simulation requires the resolution of complex geometry, turbulent flow patterns, heat transfer, and detailed chemistry. Although computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can simulate the ...

Georgia Tech researchers have created a combustion chamber said to practically eliminate nitrogen oxide (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions, two of the primary causes of air pollution. The device ...

To supplement domestic natural gas supplies, the U.S. is expected to increase its dependence on offshore liquefied natural gas suppliers in the coming years. However, the composition and hydrocarbon ...

Safran Helicopter Engines (Turbomeca) has found a way to keep the flow swirling in the combustor. Safran's engineers have managed to stabilize the flame in a swirling gas flow, thus reducing the ...

The new combustor-lining design developed for Indian carriers operating GTF-powered A320neos will aid the engines’ reliability in the Middle East. With some of its geared turbofan (GTF) engines facing ...

An Israeli company, sponsored by the country's defence ministry, is developing a new type of jet engine based on an orbiting combustor nozzle (OCN). The company, R-Jet Engineering, employs mainly new ...

The next generation of gas turbines must meet society's demands for environmental protection. This means that future products must reduce emissions and have high efficiency. In order to address these ...

For economic and environmental reasons, it is important that gas turbines used in both industrial power generation and also oil & gas applications can burn a wide variety of fuels, with minimum impact ...

Developing a propulsion system for an HSCT will be more technically challenging than for any other civil aircraft engine ever attempted. Generating an economically viable design is a daunting problem ...
