Prediction Gas Turbine System Reliability
Prediction Gas Turbine System Reliability
(OP)
I am doing a reliability study for a Solar MARS 90 vintage 1980ish. The MTTF/MTBF data that I have been able to get my hands on is somewhat suspect. Does anyone know a good source of reliability data?

These factors can vary enormously from site to site and give widely varying MTTF/MTBF

Valuable advice from a professor many years ago: First, design for graceful failure. Everything we build will eventually fail, so we must strive to avoid injuries or secondary damage when that failure occurs. Only then can practicality and economics be properly considered.
