    Keywords : Environmental barrier coating; ceramic matric composite; atmospheric plasma spray; suspension plasma spray; thermal cyclic fatigue; Barriärbeläggning; keramisk komposit; atmosfärisk plasmasprutning; suspensionsplasmasprutning; termisk cyklisk utmattning;

    Abstract : Gas turbine engine efficiency needs to be raised in order to decrease fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and expenses. Efficiency may be improved in two ways: by reducing engine weight and raising intake temperatures. READ MORE

  5. 4. An analytical method for quickly evaluating the performances of refractory alloys in sCO2 Brayton cycle applications

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Jiaqi Yang; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A rapid and effective analytical method has been developed to assess the performance of structural materials in sCO2 power cycle applications. This method combines a conjugate heat transfer model, considering constant heat flux boundary conditions, with a corresponding mechanical model. READ MORE

  6. 5. An overview of the development and potential of ceramic materials for use in micro gas turbines

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)
