I.D.#C0118
This seminar explores the principles of conversion of thermal energy to
mechanical work output, the basics of thermodynamics and fluid flow,
and the application of the First Law of Thermodynamics to systems
with mass flow processes. This foundation is necessary to analyze the
energy transfer processes in the major components of a gas turbine
plant; namely, compressor, combustion chamber, turbine, and heat
recovery system. Hands-on problem solving will reinforce the learning
experience. In addition, this seminar investigates the various causes
of less than ideal performance of a gas turbine plant. Calculations will
be done to permit evaluation and analysis of plant performance when
parameters are specified. The techniques of staging and intercooling,
designed to improve performance, will also be explored. Hardware
components of a typical gas turbine plant and commercial applications
of gas turbines will be reviewed.
