Detailed
description of topics:
The course
consists of two parts: one part is about off-design behaviour of gas turbines
(with simulation-practicum with GSP) and a part application.
Part 1:
Performance characteristics of gas
turbine components, procedures and computer programs for the calculation of
the static and dynamic part load behaviour of gas turbines, the effect of
ambient conditions on performance. Operating envelope, flow phenomena in
compressors: stall, surge, choking. Performance monitoring: trend analysis,
the use of parameter estimation techniques in case only limited data are
available.
Part 2:
In part 2 the student is expected to carry out an assignment with GSP,
consisting of the analysis and the generation of solutions for a practical example of the behaviour of a
gas turbine under deviating operational conditions, as component wear, a
different fuel , application of water- of steam injection. A report has to be
written, and discussed with the lecturers. A grade will be determined during
the evaluation.

Learning
goals:
The first part is to create and enhance insight in
the available methods to determine design and off-design performance of gas
turbines and in limiting factors.
The second part focusses on practical
experience with the analysis of practical problems with the application,
operation and maintenance of gas turbines.
