Abstract: A process for testing a full-sized aircraft or full-sized gas turbine engine in a wind tunnel and includes the steps of securing a full-sized aircraft or engine in a wind tunnel for testing; filling an underground storage reservoir with compressed air; passing pre-treated compressed air from the underground storage reservoir through the wind tunnel for testing of the full-sized aircraft or engine; connecting an outlet of the wind tunnel to an ejector; and, passing compressed air from the underground storage reservoir through the ejector to decrease the exit pressure at the wind tunnel during testing of the full-sized aircraft or engine. The step of pre-treating compressed air from the underground storage reservoir includes preheating the compressed air; and, passing the higher temperature compressed air into the wind tunnel.

Abstract: An industrial gas turbine engine in which a compressor includes later stage airfoils that are cooled using a coolant from an external closed loop cooling circuit or from a heat recovery steam generator. Cooling air compressed by a compressor external to the IGT engine can be used for cooling of the main compressor airfoils with a heat exchanger to preheat a fuel used in the combustor. Or, water and steam from a heat recover steam generator can be used to cool the compressor airfoils in which steam can be bled off from the steam generator for cooling and then reintroduced into the HRSG at a downstream stage. Steam is used to cool the rotor blades while water is used to cool the stator vanes.

Abstract: A thin wall turbine blade used in a gas turbine engine, in which the blade is cast in conventional grain from a super alloy using the lost wax process as a single piece, and then the blade walls are machined to remove enough material to leave a thin wall. The blade is cast with a wall thickness greater than the designed for thin wall in order that any core shifting during the casting process will be accounted for in the machining process. prior to machining, a scanning process is used to measure the actual wall thickness on all portions of the blade wall in order to determine how much material must be removed to leave the blade wall with the proper thinness.

Abstract: A power plant for burning a fuel in a low pressure combustion chamber to produce electrical power. A first compressor supplies compressed air through a first heat exchanger to add heat to the compressed air. The heated compressed air is passed through a first turbine to drive a first electric generator. The first turbine outlet is passed through a second heat exchanger in series with the first heat exchanger to further heat the compressed air. The compressed air is then passed through a second turbine to drive a second electric generator and produce electric power. The outlet from the second turbine is passed through a first combustor to produce the hot gas flow through the second heat exchanger. The outlet from the second heat exchanger is passed through a second combustor before passing through the first heat exchanger. The outlet from the first heat exchanger is passed through a heat recovery steam generator to generate steam to drive another turbine and another generator. An additional compressor and intercooler can be used to supply the compressed air to the first heat exchanger. With this system, one or more fuels can be burned under low pressure and without passing the contaminants from combustion through the turbines.

Abstract: A small gas turbine engine with a bearing cooling and lubricating passage arrangement for a high speed rotor shaft. The engine includes a bypass fan and a compressor. The rotor shaft includes a central passage extending through the entire shaft, and where the rotor shaft is supported by a forward bearing and a rearward bearing. Cooling air for the bearings is diverted from the bypass air and is channeled through the bearings. Fuel is added to the cooling air at a location upstream of the bearing to provide lubrication. The cooling air and lubricating fuel passes through the bearings and into the rotating central shaft, and is then forced to flow toward a radial passage located adjacent to the combustor. The fuel is collected on the central shaft surface and forced out the radial passage and into the combustor. The cooling air continuous out from the central shaft to be mixed with the engine exhaust.
