A method for operating a gas turbine engine, including a first compressor, a second compressor, and a turbine, coupled together in serial flow arrangement. The method includes channeling compressed airflow discharged from the first compressor through an intercooler having a cooling medium flowing therethrough, operating the intercooler such that condensate is formed in the intercooler from the compressed airflow, and channeling the condensate to an inlet of the first or second compressor to facilitate reducing an operating temperature of the gas turbine engine.

In one embodiment, a pulse detonation system includes a pulse detonation tube including a base tube and a thermally protective layer disposed adjacent to an inner surface of the base tube. The thermally protective layer is configured to limit temperature fluctuations at the inner surface of the base tube to less than approximately 20 degrees Celsius during operation of the pulse detonation system, and the thermally protective layer does not comprise a ceramic coating.

An engine contains a compressor stage, a compressor plenum, an inlet valving stage, a PDC stage, a PDC exit nozzle stage, a transition stage, a high pressure turbine stage, a turbine plenum, and a low pressure turbine stage. The PDC stage contains at least one pulse detonation combustor and each of the compressor plenum, PDC exit nozzle stage and turbine plenum contain a volume used to reduce and/or widen pressure peaks generated by the operation of the PDC stage.

The present disclosure relates to the separation of CO2 from a gas mixture. The CO2 may be removed by cooling the gas mixture such that the CO2 can be removed as a solid or liquid. In various embodiments the gas mixture from which the CO2 is removed may include exhaust gases generated as part of a combustion process, such as may be employed in a power generation process, though the gas mixture may be any gas mixture that includes CO2.

A pulse detonation turbine engine (PDTE) includes at least one controllable multi-tube pulse detonation combustor (PDC) configured to initiate firing of one or more pulse detonation tubes in response to operation of a plurality of controllable peripheral PDC components to regulate PDTE output characteristics. A control system including a programmable controller directed by algorithmic software operates to generate control inputs for the plurality of controllable peripheral PDC components in response to PDTE input conditions, such that one or more PD tube controllable inputs can be different for at least one PD tube relative to another PD tube within the multi-tube PDC, and further such that detonation timing can be different for at least one PD tube relative to another PD tube within the multi-tube PDC.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for modulating the thrust during a flight envelope of a multiple combustor chamber detonation engine using cross-combustor chamber detonation initiation are provided. The detonation combustor chambers are filled with a combustible mixture of fuel and oxidizer. The combustible mixture in one of the detonation combustor chambers is ignited by an ignition source, and the remaining detonation combustor chambers are ignited by detonation cross-firing via connectors. A controller controls the ignition source and the supply of oxidizer and fuel to the detonation combustor chambers to modulate the thrust of the engine during the flight envelope.
