Abstract:
In one embodiment, a gas turbine fluid wash system includes a fluid wash system controller comprising a processor. The processor is configured to receive a cleaning fluid flow demand from a turbine system controller, wherein the turbine system controller is configured to control the turbine system to produce power. The processor is additionally configured to provide a cleaning fluid flow based on the cleaning fluid flow demand transmitted by the turbine system controller.

Abstract:
A combined water-wash and water injection cooling system for a gas turbine engine including a water delivery system, an air delivery system, and a controller configured to couple to the gas turbine engine, the water delivery system, and the air delivery system to access and execute one or more routines. The water delivery system includes one or more spray nozzles to spray water upstream and directly in front of a compressor of the gas turbine engine. The air delivery system is configured to provide air from the compressor to the water delivery system so that the one or more spray nozzles spray atomized water into the compressor of the gas turbine engine during a cooling mode to cool the compressor. During an on-line water wash mode, air from the air delivery system to the water delivery system is turned off to enable the one or more spray nozzles to spray non-atomized water into the compressor of the gas turbine engine to wash the compressor.
Duke Universitys Feng Gao, who led an analysis published on 29 May in Science about the evolution of SARS-CoV-2, says the new work by Daszak, Shi, and colleagues underscores that researchers have just sampled the tip of the iceberg of the coronaviruses circulating between bats that could jump int

Evolution of pandemic coronavirus outlines path from animals to humans
"Very much like the original SARS that jumped from bats to civets, or MERS that went from bats to dromedary camels, and then to humans, the progenitor of this pandemic coronavirus underwent evolutionary changes in its genetic material that enabled it to eventually infect humans," said Feng Gao, M.D.
