DESIGNING GAS TURBINES FOR THE INDUSTRIAL AND MARINE FIELD

This article describes the design changes found to be necessary when an Aero engine is adapted for industrial and marine use. It shows how the new environments can affect the materials used, and the general behavior of the components. It describes how the configuration of some engines has to be re-arranged to suit the new conditions. The design of the power turbine for these engines is discussed, and a mention is made of the trend in gas turbine size, combined cycles, and the combustion of other fuels.
