Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and identify the performance of a class D gas turbine and improve its efficiency.This thesis contains three parts: first part is to choose a specific engine in class D, for our case “Centaur 40”, then this engine, model and validate by GASTURB with existed data.Second part is tosurvey methods of pgradedemonstrated gas turbine with regard to upgraded Solar Centaur 40 “Taurus 60” using the FORTRAN code base on Stage Stacking method.Finally,the last part of this thesis is to investigate Compressor-Turbine matching. In this part the matching zone of the original and upgraded gas turbines are determined and effect of upgrading on matching zone is investigated. According to the results of discussed methods, it can be concluded that upgraded gas turbine could have 43 percent more power, 13 percent more efficiency, and 76 percent wider matching zone than modeled gas turbine
