Especially for isentropic enthalpy head (i.e., the enthalpy rise along constant entropy lines), which is a critical parameter required to accurately design and performance test compressors, limited public domain data are available...

...S. Can Gülen; Raub W. Smith The ultimate proof of the soundness and viability of a novel technology is a full-scale demonstration test in which actual components are run successfully over the entire operating envelope. Consequently, the collection of accurate and meaningful test data is of utmost...

...W. Cary Campbell; Warren H. Hopson; Mark A. Smith One of the most significant contributors to the overall uncertainty of a performance test of a combined cycle steam turbine is the uncertainty of the primary flow measurement. ASME performance test codes provide many alternative methods...

...Richard W. Eustace This paper presents an example of the use of fuzzy logic combined with influence coefficients applied to engine test-cell data to diagnose gas-path related performance faults. The approach utilizes influence coefficients, which describe the changes in measurable parameters due...

... bearings. The main contribution of the work is the characterization of magnetic forces by using two different experimental approaches. Such approaches are investigated and described in detail. A special test rig is designed where the four pole AMB is able to generate forces up to 1900 N . The high...

This paper examines the U.S. Navy experience with starting clutches and provides details of the development and testing of a synchronous-self-shifting clutch with an additional, stationary, manual turning feature to provide very slow and precise gas turbine rotor rotation for borescope purposes...

...K. Mathioudakis, Associate Professor Methods for correcting data from gas turbine acceptance testing are discussed, focusing on matters which are not sufficiently covered by existing standards. First a brief outline is presented of the reasoning on which correction curves are based. Typical...
