This is the first such facility to come up in academic institution globally
The Indian Institute of Technology-Madras and General Electric (GE) have established an Expanded Gas Turbine Combustor Testing Facility at National Centre for Combustion Research and Development (NCCRD). This is the first such facility to come up in an academic institution globally, says a release from the institute.
This is among the few such facilities globally that can test combustor designs in realistic operating conditions. The NCCRD is an IIT Madras Research Centre arm that undertakes research on automotive, thermal power and aerospace propulsion, fire research and microgravity combustion.
