Aim:
The aim of the course is to provide some basic but fundamental knowledge and understanding about the functionality of turbine engines. This knowledge will enable the students how a turbine engine can be highly efficient while having the least impact on environment. That is to aim for a green energy to contribute in sustainable development.
|
|
Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
|
|
Organisation:
The educational methods consist of lectures, seminars and labs. Seminars are given by guest lecturers from industrial partners such as Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB, SAAB Group, GKN Aerospace and etc.
To deepen the obtained knowledge, study visits from turbine engine manufacturers is planned.
|
|
Course contents:
Fundamentals of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and aerodynamics are discussed for a turbine engine from an analytical and theoretical perspective. Furthermore, the functionality of different components such as compressor, combustor and turbine, common in all types of turbine engines, would be introduced.
Turbine engines have wide ranges of application such as in Aerospace Industry (Jet Engines), in Power Plant Industry (Gas Turbines, Steam Turbines), and in Automotive and Marine Industry (Turbofans, Turbochargers). However, in this course Gas turbines and Jet Engines are discussed in more details.
