Predicting The Extinction Condition For Gas Turbine Combustors

Abstract Capturing flame blow-off (BO) or extinction limits early in the combustor design process is essential for ensuring reliable performance and reducing development time and cost. This study investigates the applicability of a low-order extinction prediction model based on a...

Acoustic Emission Informed Assessment of Damage In Sicf/Sic CMC Via In Situ X-Ray Computed Tomography Under Monotonic And Cyclic Loading Conditions

Abstract The adoption of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) in high performance engineering applications requires a comprehensive understanding of damage initiation and progression. Matrix crack onset and saturation are key damage states associated with continuous fibre-reinforced...
