When it comes to generating power, two popular technologies come to mind: gas turbines and reciprocating gas engines. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, and the right choice depends on your specific power needs. ...
Guidetubes are a great accessory for your 4mm borescopes. The combination of borescopes and guidetubes allow you to inspect turbines without taking apart said turbine. They’re essential for directing borescopes into specific areas during the inspection process, and with the use of articulating borescopes, they’re perfect for snaking through tight spaces and around corners. Most ...
Early Background Sometime after World War II, the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, now defunct, began analyzing diesel locomotive engine oil by looking at the spectral lines emitted by an in service oil sample when excited by a strong electric arc using carbon electrodes. ...
Siloxane is a chemical compound present in numerous industrial and consumer products such as shampoo, cosmetics and detergents. Siloxanes are present in biogas produced in landfill and wastewater plants and cause significant gas engine breakdown and maintenance related ...
ELVs are specifi ed for NOx, SO2 and dust for new and existing small combustion plant, gas turbines and engines. Compliance is assessed, for the most part, by annual or triennial periodic monitoring and this presents a number of challenges for plant with small fl ues and limited access. ...
The available information on combustion, flow control, treatment and environmental compliance for gas turbines and reciprocating engines is doubling every few years. ...
Introduction Smaller frontal area and high thrust to weight ratios of mixed flow compressor stage has resulted in its application for small gas turbine engines in aviation sector [1] . The efficiency and reliability of the compressor depends to a great extent on flow behavior in its flow passage and its interaction between impeller and diffuser. ...
The thermoacoustic subsystem is powered only by the waste heat of the gas turbine. Two different gas turbine configurations are considered: a Thermoacoustic refrigerator assisted gas turbine (TRG) and a Combined thermoacoustic heat pump and refrigeration assisted gas ...
This fuel is intended for high-speed diesel and gas-turbine engines. Conditions of blend creation and fuel ignition in diesels differ from petrol engines. Advantage of diesel fuel is efficiency over petrol engines by 25-30% lower. Diesel fuel has many so much advantages, but the most important is environmental ...
Diesel fuel is a liquid product which is used as fuel in the diesel engine. It is received by oil distillation from kerosene and gas-oil fractions. ...
Initially, this “boiler room” consisted of a turbine installed in a soundproof enclosure. Cofely could either renovate the existing turbine, or replace it with a gas engine. ...

The Watson has a considerable amount of machinery, including main engines, generators and cranes, that need oil tested on a regular basis to detect potential problems and eliminate the possibility of a catastrophic failure. ...
Electricity from LFG can be generated using a variety of technologies, including internal combustion engines, gas turbines and micro turbines, with two-thirds of LFGE electricity generation projects using internal combustion engines or turbines. ...
In this paper, the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from an uncontrolled landfill site filled with Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) are compared with those from controlled sites in which collected Landfill Gases (LFG) are utilised by various technologies. These technologies include flaring, conventional electricity generation technologies such as Internal Combustion ...
The present investigation is concerned with the application of the flameless combustion mode to an adiabatic combustor, typically used in gas turbine engines. Detailed chemical kinetics calculations, by means of a specific zero dimensional loop reactor model, have been performed to analyse its chemical aspects. ...
Quantifying the energy flows of both activities properly requires knowledge of the design power-to-heat ratios of the CHP processes (steam and gas turbines, combustion engines). The ratios may be multiple, non-linear or extend into the virtual domain of the production possibility sets of the plants. Quantifying cogeneration in CCGT plants reveals ...
