To make Course Members familiar with design, operation, computation and performance criteria of gas turbine (GT) combustion and reheat systems and to explore issues related to gas turbine pollutant emissions.
To familiarise course members with engine systems or engine designs for stationary and aero gas turbines.
To familiarise the course member with various operations of gas turbines and other driven rotating machines.
To provide course members with the ability to undertake gas turbine component performance calculations, diagnostics and to perform evaluations of gas turbine performance and deterioration.
The importance of technology leadership in driving the technical aspects of an organization's products, innovation, programmes, operations and strategy is paramount, especially in today's turbulent commercial environment with its unprecedented pace of technological development. As demand for ever more complex products and services has become the norm, one of the challenges for today's manager is to deal with uncertainty, to allow technological innovation and change to flourish, whilst also remaining within planned parameters of performance. This module helps to develop your understanding of management processes within an organisational context, so that when you seek employment you are equipped with both the extensive subject/discipline knowledge and the ability to relate it to a management context.
To familiarise course members with the common problems associated with the mechanical design and the lifing of the major rotating components of the gas turbine engine.
To familiarise Course Members with compressor and turbine aerodynamic design and performance by instruction, investigation and example. To introduce course members to the technology of gas turbine blade cooling through analytical and practical approaches of heat transfer principles, convection cooling, impingement film transpiration cooling and liquid cooling.
