This document contains slides from a presentation on gas turbines and centrifugal compressors. The presentation covers the basic principles and components of gas turbines, including the Brayton cycle, equations for power and efficiency, and how ambient conditions and installation factors impact performance. It also discusses gas turbine types, components like combustors, and applications in industries. The final slides cover centrifugal compressors and provide comparisons of heavy weight, light weight, and aero-derivative gas turbine designs.
Gas turbine engines derive their power from burning fuel in a combustion chamber and using the fast flowing combustion gases to drive a turbine in much the same way as the high pressure steam drives a steam turbine.
The gas turbine is the engine at the heart of the power plant that produces electric current. A gas turbine is a combustion engine that can convert natural gas or other liquid fuels to mechanical energy. This energy then drives a generator that produces electrical energy.
In a gas turbine, gas is ignited under pressure and combustible high-pressure, high-temperature gases are produced. The combustible gases power a turbine, which in turn powers a generator. In a boiler power plant, electricity is generated by heating water to produce steam which, via a turbine, powers a generator.

TIAC Is a group of technologies and techniques consisting of cooling down the intake air of thegas turbine. The direct consequence of cooling the turbine inlet air ispower output augmentation.
Performance monitoring is critical for those seeking to get the most from their machinery and processes. This article talks about how the financial benefits of performance monitoring are consistent and compelling.
Gas turbine is an important topic usually studied in mechanical engineering, aeronautical engineering, power plant engineering, electrical engineering, and some other related engineering branches. The gas turbine is an air breathing heat engine, said to be the heart of the power plant produces electric power, by burning of gas (or) liquid fuels along with fresh air. The fresh air performs two main functions in gas turbine. The fresh air acts as a cooling agent for various parts of the power plants and gives required amount of oxygen for combustion of fuel. Topics covered in the ppt
Gas Turbines: Simple gas turbine plant- Ideal cycle, closed cycle and open cycle for gas turbines Efficiency, work ratio and optimum pressure ratio for simple gas turbine cycle Parameters of performance- Actual cycle, regeneration, Inter-cooling and reheating. the topics covered are almost same in all the universities. some problems were discussed in each and concept to make them understand clearly.
The gas turbine is an internal combustion engine that uses air as the working fluid. The engine extracts chemical energy from fuel and converts it to mechanical energy using the gaseous energy of the working fluid (air) to drive the engine and propeller, which, in turn, propel the airplane.

I completed my MS in Mechanical
Engineering with Specialization in Energy
from Chalmers Tekniska Högskola
Gothenburg Sweden in 1990. I am working
with Gas Turbine from last 25 years & got
experience both in PG and O&G in Europe &
Asia Pacific. I worked as GT Power Plant
operation engineer, after sales manager, GT
& combined cycle performance engineer,
GT application engineer, fuel & emission
engineer, marketing head and sales head.
My current position is GM in Rolls-Royce
India. Prior to that I was Regional Sales
Manager (Oil & Gas), based in Rolls-Royce
Singapore since 2001. I was in a similar
positions with ABB and ALSTOM in
Malaysia since 1997. Prior to 1997, I worked
in ABB STAL AB (Finspǻng) Sweden (Now
Siemens) 8 years.

• A Compressor is a device that
transfers energy to a gaseous fluid
to
Ø overcome the effects of
system resistance so the
required flow can be
supplied to meet process
requirements
Ø raise the pressure of the
fluid by at least 5.0 psig
(34.5 kPag)
• Devices that develop less than 5

Centrifugal Gas Transmission Boosters
Conventional: • Horizontally opposed nozzles/side inlet
• Between bearings (and overhung) rotor designs
• Wide pressure ratio/head flexibility - up to five stages
• High aerodynamic efficiencies - 88% polytropic
• Fixed casing design per frame size
• Fixed pressure ratings up to 17,240 kPag (2500 psig)
Axial Inlet: • Highest aerodynamic efficiencies - Near 90% isentropic
• Limited to single-stage designs (1.45:1 Pressure Ratio)
• Overhung rotor design (single dry gas seal design)
• Pressures up to 12,410 kPag (1800 psig)
• Fixed casing design per frame size
