A ground-based cryogenic cooling system includes a means for cooling an airflow and producing chilled air responsive to a power supply. A liquid air condensate pump system is operable to condense the chilled air into liquid air and urge the liquid air through a feeder line. A cryogenic cartridge includes a coupling interface configured to detachably establish fluid communication with the feeder line and a cryogenic liquid reservoir configured to store the liquid air under pressure. The cryogenic cartridge can be coupled to a cryogenic liquid distribution system on an aircraft. The liquid air can be selectively released from the cryogenic cartridge through the cryogenic liquid distribution system for an aircraft use.

A property assessment system is provided to assess a property for various purposes. The system includes a property assessment apparatus configured to be inserted into any space of a property and retrieved therefrom once necessary information is collected from the space. The property assessment apparatus operates to monitor various conditions in the space, which is used to assess the property.

A compressor adapted for use in for a gas turbine engine includes a diffuser and a housing. The diffuser is arranged circumferentially around an axis and includes a fore plate, an aft plate spaced apart axially from the fore plate to define a flow path therebetween, and a plurality of vanes that extend between the fore plate and the aft plate. The housing is arranged circumferentially about the axis and located adjacent the diffuser.

A steam turbine system (200) includes a steam turbine (60) in which a main flow path (C) through which a main steam flows is formed, and a saturated steam generation portion (210) that is configured to generate a saturated steam. The saturated steam generation portion (210) is configured to feed the saturated steam into a wet region (C1) in which the main steam in the main flow path (C) is in a wet state via a hollow portion formed inside a stator vane (650) of the steam turbine (60). The stator vane (650) has a plurality of supply ports that are formed such that the hollow portion is configured to communicate with the main flow path (C), and a discharge amount of the saturated steam increases from an inner circumferential side toward an outer circumferential side in a blade height direction.

A system for an aircraft includes an engine bleed source of a gas turbine engine. The system also includes a means for chilling an engine bleed air flow from the engine bleed source to produce a chilled working fluid. The system further includes a means for providing the chilled working fluid for an aircraft use.
