Description

This course is designed to enable the student to develop an understanding of the operation of gas turbines for civil, marine and aircraft applications with an emphasis on aero propulsion. Both ideal and real operating cycles are examined and tools for the thermodynamic analysis of these cycles are developed to enable calculation of gas turbine performance. Many examples from actual installed gas turbines are discussed.
