Title: Miroslav Krstic: Innovator in Combustion and Compressor Technology
Introduction
Miroslav Krstic is a notable inventor based in San Diego, California. He has made significant contributions to the fields of combustion and compressor technology, holding two patents that showcase his innovative approach to solving complex engineering challenges.
Latest Patents
His latest patents include a method for suppressing oscillations in processes such as gas turbine combustion. This invention utilizes a frequency tracking extended Kalman filter responsive to combustor pressure, producing in-phase and quadrature components of the estimated magnitude of undesirable combustor pressure variations. A bidirectional minimum-seeking algorithm is employed to select the phase of a process adjusting input variables, such as fuel, in addition to the main fuel flow used for power control purposes. Another significant patent is a method and apparatus for predicting and stabilizing compressor stall. This invention predicts the onset of stall in an axial flow compressor by obtaining pressure or axial velocity measurements at various circumferential angles around a compressor stage. The method involves Fourier transforming the measurements to obtain a time history of the zeroth, first, and higher modes, determining amplitude gain at twice the rotor frequency, and stabilizing the compressor to maximize pressure rise to the combustor.
