As green transition in aviation continues to be pushed, SAFs becomes increasingly important. Hydrotreated Pyrolysis Oils (HPO) could potentially expand the ways SAFs could be produced. This thesis looks at the flame speed as well as NOx and CO emissions of this potential SAF when ...
Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbines for combined cycle engines offer significant potential for improving fuel efficiency. However, turbine weight remains a critical design factor, as the turbogenerator can account for up to one-third of the power unit mass. The turbine design to ...

Developing an Accurate and Interpretable Residual-Based AI Model for Turbofan Engine Predictive Maintenance

Research aimed at improving engine maintenance practices is vital to ensuring the aviation industry's high safety standards. Both preventive and corrective maintenance approaches result in either higher costs or increased failures. Predictive maintenance aims to achieve an optima ...
UAVs have become increasingly popular, finding applications in diverse areas such as military operations, search and rescue, delivery services, wireless communication, and aerial surveillance. A critical aspect of UAV operations is autonomous landing, especially on moving target ...
This study investigated the effect of tangential strain on the stability of perturbed laminar lean premixed hydrogen flames in a counterflow reactants-to-products configuration. Laminar premixed flames are highly susceptible to intrinsic instabilities, including hydrodynamic and ...
