GAS TURBINES � PUBLIC COURSES The Gas Turbine:
Principles and Applications
PD115
The gas turbine is a versatile source of shaft or propulsion power in
a growing number of applications.
The course reviews methods for evaluating gas turbines performance,
leading to the criteria for selection and application of the engine.
Attendees will be instructed in identifying functions of the several
components of the gas turbine.
A thorough introduction into quantitative analysis of engine
performance based on component characteristics will be provided.
The successful operation of gas turbines will be analyzed, including
the necessary characteristics of materials and fuels, the control of
combustion emissions, along with elements of condition monitoring and
maintenance. Specific examples of component and gas turbine engine
designs are shown to illustrate the application of the analysis principles. partially-premixed combustor designs, staging in lean-premixed

The Gas Turbines –
Controlling Pollutants
PD765
Controlling the emission of pollutants from gas turbine engines –
whether they come from aircraft, ground-based energy conversion or
mechanical drives – is one of the grand challenges of our time. Design
strategies for many gas turbine components, specifically combustors
and fuel nozzles, require a thorough understanding of the control of
regulated combustion pollutants released into the atmosphere.
This course presents a balanced look at current and future low-
emission design strategies for both aircraft and ground-based gas
turbine engines. It demonstrates that the formation mechanisms for
the regulated pollutants is critical for efficient engineering design
strategies and technology development.
The course will over a wide range of topics, including premixed or
prevaporized (LPP) mixture and its consequences on designs of the
combustor, prevaporization, combustion efficiency, lean stability,
auto-ignition, flashback, fuel nozzles and lean direct injection (LDI).
Operability issues (such as part-load emissions, stability and lean
blowout, ignition, thermal managements, pattern factor, combustor
pressure losses, combustion oscillations, and alternative fuels) will
also be discussed.
Using case studies from manufacturers and technology developers, the
class discussion will emphasize the system-level and practical issues
that must be addressed in developing different types of gas turbines
that emit pollutants at acceptable levels. The course will be especially
valuable to those who are new in the field as well as those who wish to
increase their understanding of gas turbine emission control strategies.
You Will Learn To
• Describe the requirements for low-emission combustion engines for
both aircraft and ground-based
• Explain the fundamental formation mechanisms for particulates, NOx,
and CO in gas turbine engines
• Describe design and control strategies for low-emission engines,
including NOx and CO formation and control
• Explain how to make a smooth and efficient transition from other
engine technologies to gas turbine engines and maintenance
Who Should Attend
This course is for design, application, and test engineers, researchers,
scientists, and technical managers who are involved in low-emission
gas turbine engine technology. Those with both modeling/simulation
and experimental orientations will benefit from the course.
