The characteristics of the combustion chamber of turbo jet engine with various parameters are examined in this article. The scientific works of other authors analyzing operating parameters of the jet engines were reviewed. Their recommendations were considered. Computer simulations of the combustion chamber were performed using different combustion reactions. The exhaust gas temperature and its dependence on the combustion mixture were determined. A practical study was also carried out, during which the experimental exhaust gas temperature was measured, and the trends of temperature change were determined. After analyzing both theoretical and practical results, the conclusions are presented.

A comparative series of experimental tests has been performed on a 4-stroke multi cylinder indirect injection diesel engine fueled with diesel oil, pure gas-turbine fuel and gas-turbine fuel with additives. The engine has been equipped aimed at monitoring both the overall performances and the variation with time of the pressure in the pre-combustion chamber. Some key parameters have been investigated at different engine speeds and loads (ignition delay, pressure rise in the pre-combustion chamber, power output, specific fuel consumption, exhaust gas temperature) and discussed results are presented.

Abstract Distribution of the exhaust gas temperature within the furnace of a grate boiler greatly depends on its operating parameters such as output. It has a considerably different character than temperature distributions in other types of boilers (with pulverised or fluidised bed), as it varies considerably across the chamber. Results presented in this paper have been obtained through research of a grate-fired hot water boiler with a nominal rating of some 30 MW. Measurements have been taken by introducing temperature sensors into prearranged openings placed in the boiler side walls. Investigation has been carried out for different output levels. Tests involved thermocouples in ceramic coating and aspirated thermocouples. The latter were used to eliminate influence of radiative heat transfer on measured results. Values obtained with both methods have been cross-checked.

One of the most important systems of an aircraft jet engine is exhaust gas temperature measurement system that ensure right function of the engine. Temperature of the gas flowing from the engine turbine is quite high. There is one way, how to measure high temperature and it is by thermocouple. So the main aim of the paper is to describe creation and correct function analysis of a thermocouple simulator. Thermocouple generates very low voltage depending on a temperature that ranges from units micro-volts to several tens of millivolts. Generating of such low voltage using simulator is not easy, because this voltage may move at levels of noise. Voltage generation is performed by digital-analogue converter, which is controlled by a microcontroller via SPI bus. The generated voltage is further reduced to a level corresponding to the voltage output of the thermocouple. Several calibration waveforms are performed belonging to appropriate thermocouple type for multifunctional use. Only positive temperatures are generated, because exhaust gas temperature measurement system is aimed at high temperatures. The power supply circuit offers two options. It is supply from accumulator for its portability or from the laboratory power supply. Surface mounted devices are selected in terms of module miniaturization. The newest device base is chosen for modern design of the module. The temperature waveform is generated by the way of polynomial approximation with correction. Dependence of real generated voltage on the voltage, which is defined by appropriate thermocouple type standard and errors evaluation, is used as a proof of proper function.

In 1997 the Turbomachinery Group of the University of Liège decided to acquire a small jet engine to illustrate the courses in propulsion and to provide the students with the opportunity to get some experience on data measurement, acquisition, and interpretation. Among others, the SR-30 engine from Turbine Technology Ltd. Chetek, WI was chosen. It consists of a single spool, single flow engine with a centrifugal compressor, a reversed combustion chamber, an axial turbine, and a fixed convergent nozzle. This engine was installed on a test bench allowing for manual control and providing fuel and oil to the engine. The original setup included measurements of intercomponent pressure and temperatures, exhaust gas temperature, and rotational speed. Since then both the engine and the test bench have been deeply modified. These modifications were led by a triple objective: the improvement and the enrichment of the measurement chain, the widening of the engine’s operational domain, and, last but not the least, the wish to offer appealing hands-on projects to the students. All these modifications were performed at the University of Liège and were conducted by the students as part of their Master theses. Several performance models of the engine were developed to support data validation and engine condition diagnostic. This paper summarizes the developments conducted with and by the students, and presents the experience that was gained by using this engine as a support for education.

This paper deals with the conversion of coke fired lime kilns to gas and the conclusions drawn from the completed projects. The paper presents (1) the decision process associated with the adoption of the new technology, (2) the necessary steps of the conversion, (3) the experiences and issues which occurred during the first campaign, (4) the impacts on the beet sugar factory (i.e. on the CO2 balance and exhaust gas temperature), (5) the long term impressions and capabilities of several campaigns of operation, (6) the details of available technologies and (7) additional benefits that would justify a conversion from coke to natural gas operation on existing lime kilns. (8) Forecast view to develop systems usable for alternative gaseous fuels (e.g. biogas).

Abstract The article discusses the problem of diagnostic informativeness of exhaust gas temperature measurements in turbocharged marine internal combustion engines. Theoretical principles of the process of exhaust gas flow in turbocharger inlet channels are analysed in its dynamic and energetic aspects. Diagnostic parameters are defined which enable to formulate general evaluation of technical condition of the engine based on standard online measurements of the exhaust gas temperature. A proposal is made to extend the parametric methods of diagnosing workspaces in turbocharged marine engines by analysing time-histories of enthalpy changes of the exhaust gas flowing to the turbocompressor turbine. Such a time-history can be worked out based on dynamic measurements of the exhaust gas temperature, performed using a specially designed sheathed thermocouple. The first part of the article discusses possibilities to perform diagnostic inference about technical condition of a marine engine with pulse turbocharging system based on standard measurements of exhaust gas temperature in characteristic control cross-sections of its thermal and flow system. Selected metrological issues of online exhaust gas temperature measurements in those engines are discusses in detail, with special attention being focused on the observed disturbances and thermodynamic interpretation of the recorded measuring signal. Diagnostic informativeness of the exhaust gas temperature measurements performed in steady-state conditions of engine operation is analysed in the context of possible evaluations of technical condition of the engine workspaces, the injection system, and the fuel delivery process.

In this study, energetic based fluid selection for a solid oxide fuel cell-organic rankine combined power system is investigated. 9 dry organic fluids with varied critical temperatures are chosen and their corresponding ORC cycle performances are evaluated at different turbine inlet temperatures and exhaust gas temperature (waste heat source) from the upper cycle. It is found that actual ORC cycle efficiency for each fluid strongly depends on the waste heat recovery performance of the heat recovery vapor generator. Exhaust gas temperature determines the optimal fluid which yields the highest efficiency.
