An industrial gas turbine operates at an 8.8:1 pressure ratio
and a mass flow of 77 kg/s. The
exhaust temperature is at 437?C and the inlet temperature to the
machine is around 1000?C.
The machine is to be designed for a constant axial velocity of 200
m/s. (This data is based on
the Rolls-Royce Avon, an engine that dates from the 1950s but is
still used as low efficiency
high reliability engine for stationary power such as pipeline
pumping.)
For this gas turbine, draw to scale the meridional view with:
(a) a constant mean radius of 0.4 m.
(b) a constant outer diameter (to minimise cross sectional area) of
1.05 m.
