Detailed description of topics:
The course consists of two parts: the first part covers off-design behaviour of gas turbines, including modeling with the GSP-software (Gas turbine Simulation Program). The second parts focusses on gas turbine applications.
Part 1:
Performance characteristics of gas turbine components. Software for simulation of off-design behaviour. Performance limits, stall, surge, choking. Performance monitoring and trend analyses.
Part 2:
to be specified.

Remarks (specific information about assesment, entry requirements, etc.):
Goals:
The first part of the course is designed to provide the students with a knowledge of procedures to determine the design and off-design performance of gas turbine engines and the factors limiting the performance.
The second part is aimed at provinding insight to the students into the various gas turbine applications, as well as the industrial activities related to construction, operation and maintenance of gas turbines.
Computer use: simulation program GSP.
Laboratory project(s): practical course in the modelling of off-design behaviour using GSP
Design content:
Design aspects of the gas turbine with respect the performance of the gas turbine system as well as its applications.
Percentage of design: 25%
