Course objectives:
|
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basic current gas turbines schemes and describe the corresponding thermodynamic cycles, including the possibility of improving the turbine thermal efficiency. Furthermore, to present the purpose and principle of turbo-compressor´s individual parts operation, such as axial or radial compressors, combustion chambers and gas turbines. Describe the thermally exposed parts cooling methods and present the most modern combustion methods, including their contributions to emissions.
|
Requirements on student
