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 ...

Real-time monitoring of flame instability can save gas turbine owners from millions of dollars in damage due to “combustor humming.” The development of dry low NOx (DLN) combustors for gas turbines ...

Pratt & Whitney’s successful PDE combustor trials could lead to demonstrator getting airborne by 2008 Pratt & Whitney plans to launch a new phase of collaborative research work with NASA and the US ...

Increasingly fierce competition driven by deregulation and privatization is putting downward pressure on power plant operations and maintenance (O&M) budgets. Recently, lower natural gas prices have ...

An airfoil manufacturing technology promises to improve the performance of natural gas turbines and has been commercialized through research sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). DOE Small ...
