“…In both cases, the decision to perform a water wash is made based on economic reasons: the cost of keeping the engine stopped between 6 and 8 hours, the cost of use of the required auxiliaries to complete the washing, the cost of water and chemicals, and finally the associated cost of labor must be more than compensated by the improvement in TSFC. The cost of completing the water wash is reasonably low (see [131] for a cost evaluation in a LM6000 engine during a year, meaning between 25,000 and 30,000 USD per year, washing twice per month, but engine-specific intervals will depend on usage) comparing with the cost of keeping the engine stopped (so the loss of passengers in an aircraft, or the production loss in a power plant). If an improvement in TSFC of a 1.5% average was feasible with water washes, -269 -in the case of the engine used in this thesis, that would mean a direct fuel cost saving in the order of a minimum of 105,000 USD per year (assuming 3,000 hours of cruise operation each year service, see US public data available from 2020 in [196]), and per engine, with fuel prices taken by November 2021.…”

If I had to choose only one person to thank for the support received during the preparation of this document, I would be committing a great injustice, since my path has been enlightened by different estimated collaborators. Nevertheless, I truly have a debt of gratitude with:Dr. Luis Sánchez de León, my dear colleague, because without his unwavering support, his natural born intellectual brilliance, and his complete dedication during these past long years of preparation, even under extremely difficult personal circumstances that still impress me, this work would not have been possible.Dr. José Manuel Vega, master, mentor, and top-class researcher, who provided an enormous support, with his expertise, mindset, generosity, and advice during the sometimes difficult, but still rewarding, elaboration of this thesis. He showed to me the way to follow, he took me under his wings during difficult moments, being a personal and academic reference, while sharing selflessly, even after extremely worrying health circumstances, his vast knowledge regarding the different topics treated in this document.Other brilliant colleagues at ETSIAE-UPM, like Dr. Ángel Velázquez and Dr. Francisco Sastre, have also contributed remarkably to the development of the proposed research line by showing innovative ways to improve results. They provided an unvaluable support during critical moments.And last, but not least, I must thank to the director of this thesis, Dr. José Luis Montañés, master, mentor, and friend since many years, his leading and focused technical approach, his clarity, his passion on everything he endeavors, his smart vision, his continuous support by being always accessible and the pilar upon everything was elevated, and the faith he inexplicably always had in me. I wish I could deserve one day just a fraction of it. He gave me the tools to achieve all the goals I had so far in my life, and he transmitted to me the respect and consideration for the Engineering, the Science, and for our Alma Mater.They are the model or, better said, the mirror in which I wish to contemplate myself in the future. As an engineer, and as a person.Climbing on their shoulders, I could see beyond.
