Inlet Obstruction testing<br />
A custom made inlet with attachable flow<br />
disruption rings. Examination of flow inside the<br />
inlet is made via pitot tube. Aim of project is to<br />
examine effect of inlet obstructions<br />
on the engine<br />
operation parameters<br />
Exhaust options<br />
The Olympus engine allows for different<br />
exhaust options, such as noise reduction<br />
devices (above) or a reheat section.<br />

• A test bench was built with the capability to study the<br />
characteristics of various micro‐turbine engines<br />
• The system built is highly modular and flexible<br />
• Useful experiments have already been performed<br />
• Much is yet to be done, and we’ll be glad to cooperate on this<br />
matter<br />
