  2. 1. Aerodynamic Investigations of a High Pressure Turbine Vane with Leading Edge Contouring at Endwall in a Transonic Annular Sector Cascade

    Author : Ranjan Saha; Torsten Fransson; Markus Jöcker; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; high pressure turbine; secondary flow; leading edge contouring; endwall; experimental investigations; losses; flow field; hub cooling flow; högtrycksturbinen sekundärströmning; framkantsmodifiering; ändvägg; experimentell undersökning; förluster; strömningsfält; filmkylning av inre platform;

    Abstract : Efficiency improvement is an important aspect to reduce the use of fossil-based fuel in order to achieve a sustainable future. Gas turbines are mainly fossil-fuel based turbomachines, and, therefore, efficiency improvement is still the subject of many on-going research activities in the gas turbine community. READ MORE

  4. 2. Interaction between electronic and vibrational edge states in graphene

    Author : Anton Vikström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; collective excitations; quantum acous- tics; quantum Hall effect; edge waves; graphene; solitons;

    Abstract : A sheet of graphene in a magnetic field perpendicular to the sheet has electronic edge states with nonzero velocities. These edge states are localized to the edge of the sheet on the order of the magnetic length. READ MORE

  5. 3. Aerodynamic Investigation of Leading Edge Contouring and External Cooling on a Transonic Turbine Vane

    Author : Ranjan Saha; Torsten Fransson; Jens Fridh; Tony Arts; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; gas turbine; aerodynamics; secondary flow; external cooling; trailing edge cooling; film cooling; aerodynamic loss; high pressure turbine; nozzle guide vane; Aerospace Engineering; Flyg- och rymdteknik; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

    Abstract : Efficiency improvement in turbomachines is an important aspect in reducing the use of fossil-based fuel and thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions in order to achieve a sustainable future. Gas turbines are mainly fossil-based turbomachines powering aviation and land-based power plants. READ MORE

  6. 4. Investigations of Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in the Pocket Region of a Gas Turbine Engine and Cooling of a Turbine Blade
