Diffuser-augmented wind turbine systems represent an innovative approach to renewable energy harvesting by utilising an additional aerodynamic structure – the diffuser – to enhance airflow over the ...

The incentive for use of an interstage diffuser in a free-shaft gas turbine engine is briefly examined and some pertinent published background data reviewed. Tests of two annular diffusers behind an ...

Cylindrical holes were once the industry standard for air film cooling on turbine engine components. The cooling holes were traditionally formed using an electro-discharge machine (EDM) with a round ...

Hydraulic turbines are at the forefront of renewable energy systems, where optimised performance and stable flow dynamics are essential for reliable energy conversion and grid integration. The ...

Dating back to the late 1980’s, the principle of inlet chilling has been utilized to increase power output of combustion gas turbines. Since gas turbines are constant volume machines, air mass flow ...

Forget about traditional tri-blade wind turbines — the ultra-efficient turbine of the future might look completely different if Kyushu University professor Yuji Ohya has anything to say about it. Ohya ...

Love the idea of wind power, but can’t imagine that a wind turbine on your property could ever be quiet or unobtrusive? Personal wind turbines are the next big thing in wind power technology, and the ...
