摘要： A system for producing a hydrogen enriched fuel includes a gas turbine comprising a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine. A fuel reformer is connected between the compressor and the combustor. The fuel reformer comprises an inlet connected to the compressor and an outlet connected to the combustor, and the fuel reformer produces the hydrogen enriched fuel. A method for producing a hydrogen enriched fuel includes compressing a working fluid with a compressor to produce a compressed working fluid and diverting a first portion of the compressed working fluid to a fuel reformer. The method further includes mixing a fuel with the compressed working fluid in the fuel reformer to produce the hydrogen enriched fuel and an exhaust stream and flowing the exhaust stream to a combustor

摘要： A machine includes a static member and a moving member. The moving member includes a central hub and a moving component. The moving component includes a first end portion fixedly connected to the central hub, a second end portion and an intermediate portion. The second end portion of the moving member is spaced from the static member so as to form a gap. A transmitting element is mounted to one of the static member and the moving member. The transmitting element emits an acoustic wave having a predetermined frequency across the gap. A receiving element is mounted to the other of the static member and the moving member. The receiving element receives the acoustic wave from the transmitting element. The machine further includes a controller that determines a clearance distance extending between the moving member and the static member based on the acoustic wave passing across the gap.
