With the privatization and intense competition that characterize the volatile energy sector,
the gas turbine industry currently faces new challenges of increasing operational flexibility …

A novel method for estimating the rotor blade life cycle of an industrial gas turbine (GT) by
the use of artificial Neural Network is proposed in this paper At the first step the blade life …

Industrial gas turbines are susceptible to compressor fouling, which is the deposition and
accretion of airborne particles or contaminants on the compressor blades. This paper …

The formation mechanism of non-uniform carbon deposition on the turbine blade under the
gas-solid two-phase flow is analyzed, and the finite element model of turbine blade …

Health monitoring of aircraft systems is of great interest to aircraft manufacturers and
operators because it minimises the aircraft downtime (due to avoiding unscheduled …

Studies have shown that online compressor washing of gas turbine engines slows down the
rate of fouling deterioration during operation. However, for most operators, there is a …

This paper presents a well-researched subject area within academia, with a high degree of
application in the industry. Compressor fouling effect is one of the commonest degradations …

Compressor blade fouling in gas turbines could lead to significant loss in power and
efficiency. Online wash systems are used to remove fouling without having to shut down the …

The objective of designing a control structure that takes the degradation of the system into
account is to preserve its performance and mitigate further damage. This problem is often …

In this paper, a novel engineering platform for throughflow analysis based on streamline
curvature approach is developed for the research of a 5-stage compressor. The method …
