MECHANICAL ENGINEERING SEMINAR SERIES 2007MS Thesis PresentationThursday, January 24, 2008 12:00 – 1:00 pm2555 (D) Engineering Building(ME Conference Room)“WAVE ROTOR TEST RIG DESIGN PROCEDURE FOR GAS TURBINE ENHANCEMENT”ByPranav SaneAdvisor: Dr. Norbert Mueller Wave rotor technology has been in its development stages for close to half a century now. The complexity of the wave phenomenon and the computational difficulties were some of the biggest reasons why the technology hasn't gained prominence. Recent advancements in controls, increased research in pressure waves and improved computational power has rejuvenated this fascinating technology. In the quest for improving the efficiency of power generation devices while keeping emissions low, wave rotors have a bright future.
