Description

This introductory course discusses the basics of open Brayton cycles for Gas Turbine Engines (GTEs) followed by a comprehensive review of the various GTE architectures (e.g., turbojet, turbofan, turboshaft, turboprop, ramjets, etc.) for applications in both civil and military platforms. Detailed analyses of individual engine components (fan, LP/IP/HP compressors combustors, HP/IP/LP turbines, nozzles, etc.) as well as overall engine system interaction and integration. GTE design conceptualization, testing, validation & verification, performance, emissions, and other parameters are examined with respect to overall design goal and intended operability and durability. Concluded by a broad review of popular airframe-engine models and their brief history of conceptualization and development.
