Full Aero-thermal Combustor-Turbine interactiOn Research (FACTOR)
Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2016,
To achieve lower Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) and CO2/NOx emissions, modern turbomachineries operate at high velocities and high temperature conditions. The lack of confidence in the prediction of combustor-turbine interactions leads to apply extra safety margins on components design. Therefore, the understanding of combustor-turbine flow field interactions is mandatory to preserve High Pressur ...

Engine Representative Internal Cooling Knowledge and Applications (ERICKA)
Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2014,
"The goal of ERICKA is to directly contribute to reductions in aircraft engine fuel consumption with a targeted contribution of 1% reduction in SFC relative to engines currently in service. The fuel efficiency of a jet engine used for aircraft propulsion is dependent on the performance of many key engine components. One of the most important is the turbine whose efficiency has a large influence ...

Generation of Hydrogen by Kerosene Reforming via efficient and low emission new Alternative, innovative, refined technologies for aircraft application (GreenAir)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
"Fuel cells for power generation and additional purposes aboard aircraft have a promising potential to contribute to making aircraft “greener” and thus to ""greening of air transport” which is a superior goal of European policy of climate change.GreenAir is addressing one of the key problems for fuel cell application aboard an aircraft - the generation of Hydrogen from Jet fuel (Kerosene) which wi ...

Useful PLASMa for AEROdynamic control (PLASMAERO)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
"PLASMAERO seeks to demonstrate how surface & spark discharge plasma actuators could be used to control aircraft aerodynamic flow. This will be achieved through an enhanced understanding of their physical characteristics and an in-depth study of how they may be optimised to influence the air flow properties. The project will run for 36 months and will show the advantages and notably the ease of im ...

Survey and Prospects of IMP PAN Research (IMP Survey)
Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2009,
The Institut has already an established position in the scientific community involved in broadly understood energy conversion in flows, structural mechanics, dynamics of machinery, laser technology and plasma dynamics. The recognized potential of IMP PAN is a good starting point for the involvement in the European Research Area. However, to reach the level of European partners a significant upgrad ...
