Contents:
Simulation tasks: New engine design -- Engine families -- Modeling an engine -- Engine model examples -- Model-based performance analysis -- Inlet flow distortion -- Transient performance simulation -- Preliminary design:- Compressor -- Turbines -- Mechanical design -- Off-design: Component performance -- Understanding off-design behavior -- Basics: Gas properties and standard atmosphere -- Spreadsheet calculations -- Non-dimensional performance -- Reynolds number corrections -- Efficiency of a cooled turinbe -- Secondary air system -- Mathematics -- Optimization -- Monte Carlo simulations -- Appendix.
In: Springer Nature eBookSummary: The book is written for engineers and students who wish to address the preliminary design of gas turbine engines, as well as the associated performance calculations, in a practical manner. A basic knowledge of thermodynamics and turbomachinery is a prerequisite for understanding the concepts and ideas described. The book is also intended for teachers as a source of information for lecture materials and exercises for their students. It is extensively illustrated with examples and data from real engine cycles, all of which can be reproduced with GasTurb (TM). It discusses the practical application of thermodynamic, aerodynamic and mechanical principles. The authors describe the theoretical background of the simulation elements and the relevant correlations through which they are applied, however they refrain from detailed scientific derivations. .
