12. Turbulence Intensity Measurements in a High-Pressure Gas Turbine Stage
University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologiAbstract : This Thesis work focused on the acquisition and evaluation of data on mean velocity, turbulence intensity and length scales obtained via hot wire measurements in a high pressure single-stage land-based turbine available at the Department of Heat and Power Technology in KTH. Turbulence was generated by the use of grids and twoprobes, upstream and downstream of the turbine stage, were used. READ MORE

14. Turbo For Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaperAbstract : Turbo systems have long been implemented into vehicles to increase the specific power. Increasing the pressure for conventional vehicles decreases the mass of the engine and increases the efficiency. Conventional vehicles do however produce carbon dioxide emissions which have become an increasing issue that needs a solution. READ MORE

15. Establishing a methodology to investigate factors that affect Tip Leakage Loss : In a small scale Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbine
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningsläraAbstract : With growing awareness and necessity for the world to move towards more sustainable (energy saving) forms of power generation, focus on the commercial use of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbine systems has subsequently increased in turn. ORC systems with their modular design can thus help in recovering heat, obtained as a byproduct from a variety of industrial processes, and thereby increase their overall system efficiency. READ MORE
