Abstract:
Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, and methods for monitoring fluid passage. In an embodiment, a device may receive a thermographic image of a region comprising a fluid passage. Subsequently the device may determine that the thermographic image comprises an image pattern indicative of a degraded portion of the fluid passage.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for treating a surface, such as a gas turbine surface, with a filming agent using an inlet air cooling device. A filming control system includes a storage tank configured to contain a filming agent; an inlet air cooling device; and a supply conduit coupled to the storage tank on a first end and the inlet air cooling device on a second end; wherein the filming control system is configured to deliver the filming agent from the storage tank and to discharge the filming agent through the air inlet cooling device and the filming agent includes siloxane, fluorosilane, mercapto silane, amino silane, tetraethyl orthosilicate, succinic anhydride silane, or a combination including at least one of the foregoing.
