The long lead time for the development of blades and vanes used in gas turbines, such as in power stations, presents a significant challenge to the validation of new part designs in engine tests.

Pre-swirl systems are a critical component in modern gas turbine engines, designed to condition the cooling airflow before it reaches the turbine rotor blades. By imparting a controlled rotational ...

Demand for natural gas–fired power plants is perhaps more intense than it’s ever been. That means a big market to serve, and new opportunities for innovation. The major manufacturers are all working ...

Recent-model large-frame gas turbines have experienced some growing pains, but modifications and upgrades have increased their reliability substantially. Due to low natural gas prices, low capital ...
