Gas Turbine Design, Components and System Design Integration
Gas Turbine Design today are the integral parts of power generation, transportation, petrochemical and diverse industrial processing systems. Although the design and application of gas turbines in any of the above areas and their operational requirements are different, they share the same underlying physics. The physics of turbomachinery components and systems was discussed in details in the first and the second enhanced edition of my textbook, Turbomachinery Flow Physics and Dynamic Performance.
The Gas turbines are engines within which the chemical energy of the fuel is converted either into mechanical energy in terms of shaft power or into kinetic energy. Gas turbines that produce shaft power are power generation gas turbines. Gas turbines that convert the fuel energy into kinetic energy are used for generation of thrust to propel an aircraft. The conversion of fuel energy into shaft power or propulsive force, requires interaction of several components of the engine, within each of them a chain of energy conversion takes place.
