Thermodynamics: Gas Turbine Power Plant Trainer Model GTH 018

Gas Turbine Power Plants find applications in several areas including aeronautical, marine and power generation. In view of its applications in power generation and propulsion, understanding of the thermodynamics, operation, working and the performance of the gas turbine power plant is important for the Mechanical, Aerospace, Marine and Propulsion Engineering students of educational institutions.

Item Description

The Sci-tech Gas Turbine Power Plant Trainer Model GTH 018 is compact bench top educational equipment mounted on a mobile metal frame with castor wheel, designed and developed to demonstrate to students the various aspects including the thermodynamics, operation, control and performance of gas turbine power plants. The set-up incorporates necessary instrumentation to carryout fluid flow, energy transfer, combustion and gas turbine analysis. It is an open system and consists of an air intake, centrifugal compressor, combustion chamber, single stage axial flow turbine and a nozzle. Sensors are provided to measure pressures and temperatures at all critical locations to enable analysis of each component and the overall system.
There is a provision to measure propulsion jet thrust using a load cell. Provision is made to reduce noise level using a sound suppressor system. An auto-start system is provided to facilitate operation and control. The operation, control, data acquisition and data analysis are through a computer based system. All components are manufactured according to established industrial practices and using corrosion resistant materials. Sci-tech Gas Turbine Power Plant Trainer is important equipment for any Propulsion and Power Plant Laboratories of educational institutions.
