Professional Training: Gas Turbine Performance
Learning Objectives:
With this training, the trainees will be able to describe various gas turbine engine cycles and how they generate power and thrust. They will understand the function of each component of the gas turbine and describe how they operate both on-design and off-design and how they are controlled. They will gain an understanding of how gas turbine performance is affected throughout the flight and operating envelope, as well as the effect of component degradation and component failure.
Training Duration:
2-3 days, however flexible based on the client's final list of training topics and desired training schedule.
Training Topics:
- Aero-engine thrust and performance measures
- Propellers
- Gas turbine cycles:
- Turbojets
- Turbofans (mixed and unmixed)
- Turboprops
- Turboshafts
- Gas turbine components:
- Inlets
- Fans and compressors
- Combustion chambers
- Turbines
- Propelling nozzles
- Turbomachinery component matching
- Engine control
- Flight envelope performance
- Effects of component degradation
- Effects of component failure
This list of topics can be modified to meet the customer’s specific requirements, including focus on a specific engine or engine type.
What's included:
Each trainee will receive a 1-year licence with access to gasTURBINE web-based software at https://apps.paulaerospace.ca and includes email support for the duration of the licence.
Pricing:
Estimated cost is $2000 - $2500 CDN per trainee. Actual cost will be based on the client's desired number of training days, the final list of training topics, the desired location of training, and the number of trainees.
Minimum and maximum number of trainees:
The minimum and maximum number of trainees will depend on the desired venue and location, however larger discounts are available for larger numbers of trainees.
Location:
Client’s venue. We come to you to provide the training to your engineers where they do their work so they get the maximum benefit from the training possible. This also allows for hands on examples and practical exercises to go through specific applications for your specific use cases.
Language of Instruction:
The course material has been developed in English, however instruction in French is also available.
