The document outlines the organization of a gas turbine project team for the 2011/2012 year. The project is contracted by National Resources Canada to design a 10 MW power generator using supercritical carbon dioxide. The team is divided into six groups: Aerodynamics, Heat Transfer, Performance, Structures, Balance of Plant, and Integration. Project members are listed under each group lead along with their roles.

The Gas Turbine project is an ongoing project that was contracted to Carleton
University by National Resources Canada in 2001. The objective of this project is to
design a power generator using supercritical carbon dioxide as the working fluid.
The project started with scaling a 50 kW prototype to a 100 MW model. This goal is
to be achieved within four years. The 2011/12 team is required to design a scaled
prototype generating 10 MW of power.
This year the Gas Turbine group is divided into the Aerodynamics, Heat Transfer,
Performance, Structures, Balance of Plant and Integration teams.
These 3D models were printed at Carleton University using rapid prototype printing
machines.
Full model scale : 1:3
Compressor scale: 0.7:1
Turbine disk scale: 0.8:1
Fir tree blade scale: 6:1

4. Structural analysis on compressor rotors and stators was
performed. Design is modified to withstand structural
loads due to rotation and pressure. Modified disk design
for rotors and designed coupling for rotors and shaft. In
charge of raising funds and 3D prototyping.

Compressor Structural Analysis, Design and
Modification 2011/2012 Gas Turbine
In charge of shaft layout and sizing. Worked on shaft-to-
disk couplings, bearing selection & arrangement, and
integration with the casing. Sized the shaft based on
structural analysis. Performed modal analysis.

Shaft Assembly and Static/Dynamic Analysis
2011/2012 Gas Turbine
In charge of turbine components design, structural
analysis and material selection. Much of my work was
focused on designing new rotors and fir-tree geometries
that can withstand all the loads acting on them.

Turbine Design and Structural Analysis 2011/2012
Gas Turbine
Designed a new casing for the turbo machinery
components for the 10 MW Gas Turbine project. In
designing the casing, minimum safe thickness is
determined by analysis and calculations of impact
loading, internal pressure and thermal stress. This
design serves as base model to be improvised in the
future.

Mechanical Engineering 2008/2013
Casing Design 2011/2012 Gas Turbine
Determined materials to be used based on physical,
mechanical and chemical properties of metals. Using
Visual Basic designed a database data which could be
used for searching materials based on specified
properties. Also designed preliminary gas seal to prevent
leakage of CO2.
