The Turbomachinery Laboratory will further its global impact this month during the Turbomachinery Technical Conference & Exposition (Turbo Expo) in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
The conference, presented by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) International Gas Turbine Institute, is set for June 13-17. Experts from around the world will come together to share the latest academic findings in turbine technology, research, development and application.
Turbo Lab faculty and students will present or host technical papers and sessions, and Turbo Lab staff will represent the Lab in the expo, booth 320.
Turbo Lab papers submitted to the conference are often also accepted to the ASME Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power. Papers undergo a stringent review process in order to be journal-ready. They must be interesting, original, innovative and of significant relevance to the gas turbine industry, according to ASME evaluation guidelines.
“It’s a big honor to get accepted to journal,” said Dr. Eric Petersen, Turbo Lab director. “This is common for the Turbo Lab. It speaks to the high-quality research, and the high-quality students and faculty behind the research.”
Dr. Luis San Andrés, Mast-Childs Chair professor of the Turbomachinery Laboratory, will receive the ASME IGTI Aircraft Engine Technology Award, a prestigious honor given annually by ASME. He and two other engineers, Andy Alcantar and Jose Toner (Exxon-Mobil) will receive an ASME Best Paper Award from the Structures and Dynamics Committee for “Measurements to Quantify the Effect of a Reduced Flow Rate on the Performance of a Tilting Pad Journal Bearing (LBP) With Flooded Ends.” This will mark San Andres’ 11th best paper award, an undoubtedly impressive accomplishment. The Best Paper Award is given to papers that rank in the top one percent of all conference submissions. They are high-quality, original and contribute uniquely to the science of engineering.
