In 1884, marine engineer Charles Parson used coal to power his groundbreaking invention, the multi-stage steam turbine, to produce electricity. This technological revolution marked a new dawn of ...

There are very few machines as complex to build as a turbojet engine. The turbine blades on a commercial airliner are grown from a single crystal of metal. The engineering tolerances are crazy ...

The first turbine stage in an engine is located downstream of the combustion chamber, where high turbulence is generated. As a result, the boundary layers are almost completely turbulent. Together ...
