  4. Abstract:
  5. Gas turbine has broad applications in variety of industries. The developing gas turbine efficiency is of great engineering concern. This appeals to more precise modeling as somewhat inevitable. Modeling plays a decisive and essential role not only in all design phases, but also in development and manufacturing process to investigate performance of an engine. In this research, components of a gas turbine including air intake, axial and centrifugal compressors, combustion chamber and axial turbine are investigated. A novel dimensionless modeling approach is introduced and then, the engine performance parameters are predicted. Setting up a systematic series of experiments on the existing engine in Gas Turbine Laboratory at Sharif University of Technology, functional parameters of the components are obtained. The comparison of theoretical results with experimental results shows very good compliance. Copyright
