Compressor maps for mathematical model of a gas turbine

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for compressor maps relevant to mathematical modeling of gas turbines, specifically focusing on efficiency versus pressure ratio, inlet temperature, and mass flow. The user expresses difficulty in locating reliable sources for this data, suggesting that such information may be considered proprietary or confidential. Recommendations for obtaining compressor maps, including potential websites or literature, are sought from the community.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of gas turbine operations and performance metrics
  • Familiarity with compressor map terminology and applications
  • Knowledge of thermodynamics related to gas flow
  • Experience with mathematical modeling techniques in engineering
NEXT STEPS
  • Research sources for compressor maps, such as the "Gas Turbine Performance" book by Philip Walsh
  • Explore online databases or repositories that specialize in engineering data
  • Investigate academic journals focusing on gas turbine research for published compressor maps
  • Learn about proprietary software tools used in gas turbine modeling that may include compressor map data
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, researchers, and students involved in gas turbine design and performance analysis, particularly those seeking detailed compressor performance data for mathematical modeling.

Hello,
I`m working on a mathematical model of a gas turbine and I need good compressor maps, especially function of efficiency vs. pressure ratio, inlet temperature, mass flow etc I`ve been looking for this for few days, but can`t find anything interesting.

Do you know where I can something like this? Websites or book?

Thanks for any help ;)

I would imagine that that kind of information would be in a file marked "industrial secrets" and kept locked away.
