As part of an ongoing effort to develop a micro-scale gas turbine engine for power generation and micropropulsion applications, this paper presents the design, modeling, and experimental
The Ultra-Micro-GasTurbine Generator, that is a power device with high power density, is characterized by very reduced overall dimensions, which introduces complications in the design and the realization of the mechanical components who represents the greater difficulty to
The ultra-micro gas turbine (UMGT) consists of a centrifugal compressor, a radial turbine, an annular combustor, and recuperators, and a high speed generator. It is designed to run 400,000rpm, compression ratio 3.0, and TIT 1200K.
Since 90 s, the academic world started to study the possibility to realize a micro gas turbine (GT) set, with an overall dimensions of the order of the centimetres, able to developing a nominal power within 0.10 to 100 kW. Such a type of apparatus are defined today micro gas turbine .
Micro- and Ultra-Micro Gas Turbine (UMGT) devices, based on a micro compressor and a micro turbine installed on the same shaft, are more suitable for this scope for several reasons. They present a higher power density, both in terms of kW/kg and kW/m 3, lower emissions, less moving elements, multi-fuel capability (they operate almost equally
Cukurel defines micro gas turbines as systems capable of generating electricity below 300 kilowatts and thrust below two kilonewtons. Taking the AM approach, the team started their first project, a 5cm scale micro gas turbine that

This study investigated the performance of an ultra-micro scale gas "turbine" over three distinct flow rates of 125, 137.5 and 150 SLPM. Through the measured outputs of inlet static pressure, inlet temperature, outlet temperature, and outlet static pressure, dimensional and non-dimensional performance plots were established.
