Evaluation of propulsor aerodynamic performance for powered aircraft wind tunnel experiments
… performed in a 1x1 foot wind tunnel at the MIT Gas Turbine Laboratory to convert these measurements into mechanical flow power. The incoming flow conditions of the powered wind tunnel tests (Reynolds number and inlet distortion) were replicated. This propulsor characterization was found to …

Design and operation of a counter-rotating aspirated compressor blowdown test facility
… was tested in a blowdown facility at the Gas Turbine Laboratory at MIT. The facility expanded on experience from previous blowdown turbine and blowdown compressor experiments. Advances in thermocouple and facility designs enabled efficiency estimates through total temperature and total …

Aerodynamic benefits of boundary layer ingestion for the D8 double-bubble aircraft
… the electric motors that drive them, at the MIT Gas Turbine Laboratory. The second method (direct) was the direct integration of flowfield measurements, from five-hole probe surveys at the inlet and exit of the propulsors, which provided flow angles, velocity components, and pressure …

Hybrid silicon/silicon carbide microstructures and silicon bond strength tests for the MIT Microengine
The Gas Turbine Laboratory (GTL) and the Microsystems Technology Laboratory (MTL) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology initiated a joint effort to develop a series MEMS-based turbine engines and turbo generators in 1995. This thesis focuses on two independent research topics: first, the use …

Microfabricated refractory ceramic structures for micro turbomachinery
… initiated in 1995 as a joint effort between the Gas Turbine Laboratory (GTL) and Microsystems Technology Laboratory (MTL) to develop a MEMS-based micro-gas turbine engine. The thermodynamic requirements of power-generating turbomachinery drive the design towards high rotational speeds and high …

Heat Transfer Measurements and Comparisons for a Film Cooled Flat Plate with Realistic Hole Pattern in a Medium Duration Blowdown Facility
… perform experiments using fully-cooled rotating turbine stages operating at design-corrected conditions. These experiments produce realistic measurements of the time-averaged and time-accurate local heat transfer for the stage. Despite the value of these results, however, it is still not possible …

Understanding the Responses of a Metal and a CMCTurbine Blade during a Controlled Rub Event using a Segmented Shroud
… the cooling flow bled from the compressor. The turbine inlet temperature has consistently increased over the past 70-years. Materials like CMC are typically used in areas such as the LPT, or low-pressure turbine, where reliability at high-temperatures beyond the capability of metal blades will …
