I was invited with my colleague Alessio Picchi at a workshop on Combustor and Turbine Heat Transfer. The event was held at the United Technologies Research Center in East Hartford, Connecticut, where, among others, research programs for Pratt & Whitney are carried out.

I had the opportunity to show the numerical work performed in the framework of the EU-funded projects LEMCOTEC and FACTOR, which focused respectively on the design of an effusion-cooled lean-burn combustor and the interaction between combustor and turbine.

Despite the cold weather we received warm hospitality and our presentations have been much appreciated. It’s priceless to receive the compliments of some of the finest engineers in the business.
