A course designed to
acquaint the student with the design and
analysis of modern gas turbine engines currently
employed by the U.S. Navy. The emphasis is on
the constraints and limitations of the various
components that comprise shaft power gas turbine
engines such as axial and centrifugal
compressors, combustors, axial and radial
turbines, intercoolers, reheaters, regenerators
and inlet/exit diffusers and nozzles. In
addition, component matching and the problems
associated with it will be studied. Also, future
concepts in turbomachinery propulsion will be
discussed. The course assumes a basic knowledge
of thermodynamics and will add to the student's
knowledge in such areas as compressible flow in
turbomachinery, combustion analysis and
emissions control. The culmination of the course
is a final design project. |
