Description
An
introduction to mechanical design aspects of critical gas
turbine elements. Centrifugal, thermal and vibratory stresses
in blades and discs; analysis of shaft critical speeds. Design
impact of material selection on creep rupture and low cycle
fatigue life. Combustor design including sizing, cooling,
ignition, stability and pollutant formation.
Engine controls: hydromechanical, pneumatic and electronic
to provide safe engine operation during transients. Physical
phenomena of turbomachinery and jet noise generation and design
criteria to reduce noise emission.
