This document provides an introduction to marine gas turbines. It outlines some key safety information and the objectives and structure of the gas turbine course. It then describes the basic components and cycles of gas turbines, including variants like turbojets, turbofans, and turboprops. The document discusses advantages like high power-to-weight ratio and disadvantages like requiring high-quality fuel. It also outlines concepts like reheat, heat exchange, and pressure losses. Examples of marine gas turbines are provided like the Olympus and comparisons are made to steam and diesel cycles.

Safety and awareness information
Trainee heads are situated in the East Passageway.
Fire alarms are tested every Monday during morning stand easy, no
action to be taken.
This is a No Smoking building, smoking is permitted outside in the
entrance to the main engine cell, east end.
All accidents are to be reported, no matter how minor. Watt hangar
manager holds the accident book.
Access to the control room is restricted unless there is a member of
staff in attendance. DO NOT walk in front of the control panel when in
use.
3. 3
Access to the Engine Cells is restricted unless accompanied by a
member of staff, and the engines are inhibited.
Telephones are located within the building, in the common room,
and Raper and Spey control rooms.
Emergency telephone number is 2222.

8. OBJECTIVES
Define the meaning of gas turbine
Identify the major components of a gas turbine
Describe the various forms of aero and marine gas
turbine
Explain the form of the gas turbine cycle on a T-s
chart and compare it with the steam and diesel cycle
Describe various additions to the simple gas turbine
cycle
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of gas
turbine propulsion
9. GAS TURBINES
A self contained heat engine using a continuous
flow of gas as the working fluid - compressing it,
heating it, and expanding it through one or more
turbines, producing a net output of energy in a
useable form.
13. IF YOU WANT A SIMPLE, RELIABLE
JET ENGINE, THAT CAN BE
CHEAPLY MANUFACTURED FROM
STEEL PRESSINGS AND WILL RUN
ON SYNTHETIC FUEL THEN WHAT
ABOUT.
THE PULSE JET ????
14. Argus Pulse Jet Engine. The
Intake showing Air Inlet Shutters
15. V1 Flying Bomb (Buzzbomb
Doodlebug) - the most Infamous use of the Pulse
Jet Engine.
16. It was very simple and cheap to build
but wasnt very accurate and needed
launch ramp with rails. Later versions
were air launched.
18. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN You
Detonate Nearly ONE Tonne of
High Explosive at Ground Level
on a Civilian Target ???
(Not something that you deal with
every day in the Navy, BUT,
Something That You May Well
have to deal with during Your
Career - ie TERRORISM)

54. ADVANTAGES
High power/weight ratio
Quick start up capability and rapid response to
changes in power demand
Comparatively low development cost
Low on board maintenance requirements
Ease of upkeep by exchange of critical parts
Reduced watch keeping manpower
Good SFC at high power
Availability
Reduced underwater noise (fewer hull openings)
Operational flexibility (choice of propulsion
configuration with 4 main engines)
55. DISADVANTAGES
Unidirectional - need CPP/reversing gearbox
High quality fuel required
Good air quality required - hence a complex air
filtration system needed
Installation - large intake & exhaust ducting needed
with implications for hull strength, internal volume &
WT integrity
IR signature
High unit costs
High cost of running & maintaining shore support
infrastructure
Poor fuel consumption at part load
Poor Fuel Combustion at Low Speeds - SMOKE !
Increased number of prime movers on GT warships

turbine
Describe the various forms of aero and
marine gas turbine
Explain the form of the gas turbine cycle on a
T-s chart and compare it with the steam and

59. What Can I Expect in the
Exam??
DRAW A Gas Turbine T S DIAGRAM. SHOW
INTAKE, COMBUSTION CHAMBER and EXHAUST
LOSSES.
Explain why the power output of a gas turbine is
improved by increasing T Max
60. MARINE GAS TURBINE PRESSURE LOSSES
a An increased T Max will give a longer expansion stage,
this will increase the power output.
