GasTurb simulates the most important gas turbine configurations used for propulsion or for power generation. Virtually all gas turbine performance simulation problems can be solved with GasTurb, for example: • Use the program for teaching gas turbine thermodynamics. Employ instead of inaccurate sketches exact enthalpy- entropy diagrams that are to scale, for example. The graphical output of parametric studies can show true numbers about how the thermal efficiency depends on pressure ratio and burner exit temperature. The assumption of constant isentropic exponent is not necessary - with GasTurb it is no burden working always with the true gas properties. Thus not only the tendencies shown in the lessons are correct, even the absolute numbers are valid.

• The program is ideal for self study by students, for diploma and even for thesis work. Many scientific publications presented at international conferences like the yearly Turbo Expo (organized by the International Gas Turbine Institute IGTI) or the International Symposium of Air Breathing Engines ISABE have been prepared with GasTurb. • Creating a precise simulation of a real engine based on usually limited information is not difficult if only a single operating point is considered.

Extending the single point simulation to off- design conditions is supported by several program features dedicated especially to this task. Component maps can be adapted in such a way that the off- design model is in line with data one might have got either from measurements or from some other source.

If the behavior of an engine is not as expected then “What if.” studies can help finding out the reason for the extraordinary behavior.

This paper explains a performance simulation program for power generation gas turbines and its application to an IGCC gas turbine. The program has a modular structure and both the stage-level and entire component-level models were adopted. Stage-by-stage calculations were used in the compressor and the turbine.

This innovative, new software system provides aerospace design engineers with a Windows-based, graphical user interface for design, analysis, development and simulation of aero-thermodynamic systems. This software has the benefits and advantages over existing simulation and performance design software tools by enabling the design engineers to rapidly synthesize, architect, re-parameterize, simulate and analyze new aero-thermodynamic systems with visual components. The software allows simple and rapid assembly of design with built-in detailed physics and aero-thermodynamic properties of the gas turbine components. This software significantly increases the ability of the designer / simulation engineer to utilize his/her creativity and innovative skills to architect and configure gas turbine engine systems from an almost infinite possibility of interconnected, move-able and easily re-parameterized components on a design pallette.

The complex gas turbine engine component equations are already developed, implemented, and ready for system design. The user simply uses his computer mouse to click to: 1) Select the components, 2) Drag and drop them into place on the design pallette, 3) Connects the appropriate inputs/outputs, 4) Utilizes the user-friendly window tabs to custom parameterize the components, 5) Clicks the Simulate Button. The System results can then be viewed interactively during the simulation and after the simulation using Excel ® or other plotting tools of the user’s choice.
