Turbine blade tip clearance is one of the significant factors that influence turbine efficiency, Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC), Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT), and emissions. Controlling these parameters in a small gas turbine engine (SGT) is a challenging task due to small blade height and viscous...
