A course designed to acquaint the student with the design and analysis of modern gas turbine engines for land, sea and air use. The emphasis is on the constraints and limitations of the various components that comprise 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. The course looks atthe fundamentals of exhaust gas composition and the production of effluents. Also, future concepts in turbomachinery propulsion and energymanagement will be discussed. The course assumes a basic knowledgeof thermodynamics and will add to the student's knowledgein such areas as compressible flow in turbomachinery, combustion analysis and emissions control. The culmination of the course is a final design project.
