This case study follows how Frewer Engineering’s customer required an “Airmeter” air intake to accurately control and monitor air flow into their engines, allowing them to optimise their latest gas turbine engine designs.
Fluid-Loaded Structural Analysis
The case study follows Frewer Engineering’s look into combined computational fluid dynamics (CFD) & finite element (FE) stress analysis for structures under complex fluid loading conditions such as wind & wave loads.
Gas Turbine Ground Testing Pylon
The case study follows how Frewer Engineering mobilised our multi-disciplinary team to deliver a new pylon design that could demonstrate cleaner, more efficient flight as our customer’s engine sizes continue to increase.
High-Temperature Test Equipment
This case study demonstrates how Frewer Engineering provides design & analysis for high-temperature & pressure test equipment. This includes pipework, custom vessels & complex geometries such as combustors or internal air systems.
A1 Steam Cylinder Block Optimisation
For this case study, Frewer Engineering were approached by a team of enthusiast who are making the design of the world’s most powerful steam train a reality.
Blade Testing Rigs
This case study outlines how Frewer Engineering’s proven capability in structural analysis, rotordynamics, and integrated design for high-speed machinery enables the development of cutting-edge blade testing rigs for fan, compressor and turbine testing.
Single Arm Blade Test Unit
In this case study, our customer required the development of a new single arm blade test unit to test performance under overspeed and bird strike conditions.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Test Cell Design
This case study follows how Frewer Engineering supported the design and development of a new suite of SOFC/SOEC test facilities including digital twin modelling, pipework system design, component specification, thermal structural analysis and assessment to relevant codes.
Composite Hydrogen Pressure Vessel
For this case study, Frewer Engineering completed R&D of composite wound hydrogen fuel tanks. Specifically, the feasibility of integrating these into to existing EV modules. Exploring novel shapes, optimising mass fraction, and reviewing structural challenges.
Renewable Energy Capability Study
This case study outlines how Frewer Engineering applied engineering first principals in a technologically agnostic manner, to evaluate options for renewable energy generation at the production sites of a large industrial customer.
Whittle Laboratory NCPP Rotating Rig
This case study follows the new NCPP rotating rig, a multi-purpose, high-speed rig, capable of rapidly testing single gas turbine engine stages.
Submarine Mast Raising Equipment
