GAS TURBINE PERFORMANCE 10-14 June 2013

GAS TURBINE PERFORMANCE 10-14  JUNE 2013
This course provides a profound understanding of Gas Turbine Performance based on gas turbine theory and practical experience in designing, developing and testing gas turbines as well as on in-service experience.

It is tailored to aero engine applications, though performance characteristics of gas turbines for power generation will be addressed as well:

• Engine thermodynamics understanding
• Selection of the thermodynamic gas turbine cycle
• Steady state and transient Gas Turbine Performance
• Application of engine controls
• Methods for steady state and transient Gas Turbine Performance analysis.
