Gas Turbines with special emphasis on hydrogen combustion

This course is to provide an introduction to gas turbines. In addition, hydrogen combustion shall be covered which is a hot topic due to its low carbon footprint. Another major aspect of the course is NOx control of emissions from turbine exhaust gases.

1. Gas turbine types - industrial heavy duty and aerodrivative

2. Brayton Cycle of gas turbines

3. Site rating of gas turbines based on ISO rating including effect of ambient temperature, barometric pressure, inlet losses, outlet losses

4. Exhaust gases from gas turbines

5. NOx emissions and the correlations for them

6. Burner technologies for gas turbines - lean and fuel rich combustion

7. Adiabatic flame temperature

8. Burning hydrogen and hydrogen rich gases

9. New technologies for burners
