Thermal Turbo Machines (Cycle Processes)
Thermische Turbomaschinen (Kreisprozesse)
6 CPWinterEN
Prerequisites
Recommended, as written
• Knowledge in Technical thermodynamics
Contents
Application of a turbo engine in the technical cycles, fundamentals of gas dynamics, fundamentals of turbo-machines, theory of a stage, compressor, ventilator, high-pressure and low-pressure turbines, steam turbines, gas turbine specifics, gas turbine components, operating behaviour, inlets, diffusers and nozzles.
Learning outcomes
After attending the module, the students will be able to understand and classify the behavior of thermal turbo-machines. At the same time, they learn to design systems of turbo-machines and gas turbines. The module aims at the receiving of engineering knowhow in the field of applied thermodynamic and turbo-machines. Through learning the realization of technologies with the help of analysis of the thermodynamic cycle, the students will be enabled to analyze and estimate fluidic machines, in order to develop or refine according machines. Therefore, methods and technologies for increasing of effectiveness will be taught with which systems and components can be improved.
