Gas Turbine Combustion

All the material covered is relevant to the requirements of those engaged in research, development and design in this field.. The syllabus includes lectures on basic subjects related to combustion, such as aerothermodynamics and heat transfer, but is mainly devoted to consideration of theoretical analysis appropriate to design, practical information on design procedure, and methods of overcoming problems in combustion development. Particular attention is paid to the problems of minimising smoke, gaseous pollutant emissions and low NOx design strategies. Cranfield’s well-established one-week course in Gas Turbine Combustion is internationally known. We have a large well recognised team of engineers and scientists in the field of gas turbine combustion, supported by experimental facilities unique in the university sector, allowing combustion research and development. The facilities include high, medium and low pressure and high temperature rigs, supported by specialist instrumentation including those required for emissions measurements. Many experiments are designed specifically to suit particular investigations.
