ASME TURBO EXPO 2013 ADVANCE PROGRAM
Grand Opening
Featuring IGTI Awards Program & Turbo Expo Keynote Session
Monday, June 3, 2013 10:15 a.m. 12:15 p.m.
Join thousands of turbomachinery professionals at the years most commanding gathering of
business leaders, technology contributors, and authorities in the field of turbines. It is an ideal
occasion to gather essential marketplace insights, learn about pivotal achievements, and connect
with colleagues from around the world.
The program opens with IGTIs annual awards program to honor individuals who have made
significant contributions to advance turbine technology and industry. Following the awards
program, prominent experts from the turbomachinery industry will address the important keynote
theme Trends in the Global Energy Supply and Implications for the Turbomachinery Industry.
Turbomachinery plays a critical role in the global energy industry, especially in transportation,
power generation, and oil & gas sectors. In recent years, the global energy supply has been
undergoing momentous changes. First, increased environmental concerns have led to a
significant push for renewable energy sources. Second, the renaissance of the nuclear age
has been called into question due to the 2011 tsunami in Japan. Third, substantial additional
oil sources have been identified worldwide; but the technical challenges to developing these
reserves are significant. Furthermore, the political events in the Middle East and rising demand
have added to the uncertainty regarding the global supply of oil. Fourth, the global gas supply is
undergoing a revolution with the coming online of shale gas, especially in North America. So
what does all this imply for those of us in the fields of gas turbines, steam turbines, and other
turbomachinery? In the keynote session, leaders of the aviation, oil & gas, and power generation
industries will examine the changes that are occurring in the global energy supply and discuss
what technologies may be needed in light of such changes.

Gas Turbine Aerothermodynamics and

Performance Calculations
Nonisentropic Compressible Flows in Gas

Turbine Design
This interactive course provides review and reinforcement of relevant

thermodynamic and aerodynamic concepts as applied to gas turbine
engines, and introduces performance calculation methods of both
aircraft engine and power generation gas turbines. The course
emphasizes fundamentals which will be helpful for the practicing
engineer but is not designed to review industrial practices which are
usually proprietary. The acquired knowledge and problem solving
opportunity will enhance the participants ability to excel in various
assignments in gas turbine design, development, and application.
Participants will work out typical problems in the class during
recitation sessions facilitated by the instructor. The course material
has been evaluated by the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace
Engineering of North Carolina State University. After completing the
course the participants should be able to apply aerothermodynamic
concepts to the analysis of gas turbine engines; analyze
turbomachinery velocity diagrams and relate those to thermodynamic
parameters; appreciate the usefulness of the degree of reaction
and the radial equilibrium equation; comprehend the discipline of
operability and combustor characteristics; analyze cycle analysis
problems in class on integrating the component performances to
get the overall engine performance. Problems include both aircraft
engine and shaft power cycles; and comprehend: The method
of sizing the critical flow path areas at the design point; method
of satisfying conservation laws to achieve cycle balance at offdesign; technique of the multivariable solver used in cycle models;
and various engine cycles in the power generation field. Earn
Nonisentropic compressible flows are ubiquitous in gas turbines in their

inlet systems, compressors, combustors, turbines, and the exhaust
systems. They are, however, generally counter-intuitive. For example,
it defies common sense that the wall friction accelerates a subsonic
compressible flow in a constant-area duct with or without heating.
This workshop will provide a comprehensive review and reinforcement
of the key concepts of one-dimensional compressible flows with area
change, friction, heat transfer, and rotation. These nonisentropic
flows form the basis for the physics-based design of various gas
turbine components, particularly in their preliminary/conceptual design
phases. After completing the course the participants will develop a
unique insight into the basic theory and concepts of isentropic and
nonisentropic compressible flows, including the coupled effects of
friction, heat transfer, and rotation; will develop a strong foundation
in the physics-based design of various gas turbine components; will
be more knowledgeable in developing physics-based compressible
flow models and applying accurate boundary conditions; will be more
knowledgeable in correctly interpreting results of their compressible
flow design analyses; will develop skills to hand-calculate compressible
flow results to perform sanity-checks of predictions by design tools
as well as validate these tools during their development; and will
improve their engineering productivity with reduced design cycle time.

Gas Turbine Engine Health Management:

Past, Present and Future Trends
By Dr. Allan Volponi

Pratt & Whitney
Dr. Allan Volponi has been selected as IGTIs 2013 Scholar Lecturer. The focus of his paper is to review some of the methods used in
the preceding decades to address the aero-thermodynamic performance of the engine. Monitoring and analysis methods have progressed in
sophistication over the past 6 decades as the gas turbine evolved in form and complexity. While much of what will be presented in this paper may
equally apply to both stationary power plants and aero-engines, the emphasis will be on aero propulsion. The ever increasing cost of fuel, engine
prices, spare parts, maintenance and overhaul, all contribute to the cost of an engine over its entire life cycle and diagnostics can be viewed as
a means to mitigate risk in decisions that impact operational integrity which can have a profound impact on safety, such as In-Flight Shut Downs
(IFSD) for aero applications, (outages for land based applications) and economic impact caused by Unscheduled Engine Removals (UERs), part life,
maintenance and overhaul and the overall logistics of maintaining an aircraft fleet or power generation plants.
Dr. Allan Volponi is currently a Senior Fellow at Pratt & Whitney.

Supercritical CO2 Power Cycles
Supercritical CO2 based power cycles have significant relevance
to thermal solar, nuclear and fossil fuel power generation
applications. Additionally there is considerable interest in the
efficient separation, compression, transportation, and storage
(geologic) of CO2 from fossil fuel power plants. At the same
time the approach to geologic storage of CO2 will benefit greatly
from the existing technology and knowledge amassed around
CO2 utilization and management in the oil & gas industry.
While the end goals of the CO2 based power cycles and the CO2
storage applications are different the properties of the working
fluid, thermodynamics, technology and machinery used for
these applications are very similar. The confluence of interests
related to the use and management of supercritical CO2 has
created an imperative to further the understanding of these
applications. Through IGTIs continuing mission in supporting the

Wind Turbine Technology

The rapid expansion of wind power and the steady decrease
in the cost of technology has cemented the position of
wind power as an indispensable part of the global energy
mix. Thus the Wind Energy Technology Track will focus
on innovations that are driving technological advances
in the wind industry. The technical presentations cover
aerodynamics, structures, controls and condition monitoring
aspects of wind turbines, as well as the interaction of
wind turbines with other energy systems. These topics
are addressed for small and large wind turbines, as well
as vertical and horizontal axis wind turbines. Special panel
sessions highlight changes that are taking place in industry,
as well as that is research being undertaken in universities
and research laboratories. For experts and beginners, two
tutorial sessions and a workshop will be presented to detail
developments and tools that are employed in the rapidly
growing wind industry.

Guest Tours
Crusin & Explorin San Antonio
Monday, June 3, 2013 Time: 9:30 a.m. 1:30 p.m.
Tickets: $52 USD
We will begin in the shops of La Villita located in a rustic,

limestone plaza. These historically significant buildings
have been moved to re-create a small village. Our tour
guide will share our rich history and the signifcance of the
buildings while allowing guests time to shop. Experience
the river on a privately chartered River Cruiser with
historical and entertaining commentary as we pass through
the pages of San Antonios history. Enjoy a stop at the
Fernando Cathedral founded in 1731 and is the oldest
standing church building in Texas. We will view the
Ursuline Academy/Southwest School of Art founded in 1851 by French Ursuline nuns. It has now become a center for arts and crafts and is truly
a gem in our city. We will disembark at the Paseo del Alamo, an architecturally interesting walkway which connects the river. Our tour guide will
point out the Alamo Centataph, a marvelous sculpture by Pompeo Copini, the Alamo, and we will wrap up in the lobby of the historic Menger Hotel.
Celebrating San Antonio

Tuesday, June 4, 2013 Time: 8:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Tickets: $62 USD
Considered by many to be the most

beautiful neighborhood in all of Texas, the
King William Historic District, with its
tree-lined avenues, recalls a more gracious
era. Just at the end of the Street is the
Guenther House. Built by the German
immigrants who operated the first flourmill
on the San Antonio River, the house is still
part of the Pioneer Flour Mill and is still run
by the Guenther family. We will tour the house and visit the fabulous gift shop. Then on to the Japanese Tea Gardens. In 1915, the city requested a
Japanese immigrant and his wife to transform an old rock quarry into a Japanese styled garden. We then continue to the Spanish Governors Palace.
Built to serve as the official residence for the commander of the Presidio de San Antonio, it served as the seat of the Spanish government in Texas.
Our last stop will be the border-style El Mercado or Mexican Market. Serving as a hub of commerce years ago, Market Square, as it has become
known, has retained much of its charm of the past. Its quaint shops offer local crafts, art, clothing and food. Two indoor markets are filled to the brim
with vendors. Stay and shop awhile, enjoy lunch on your own and return on own via city trolley or return to the hotel by tour bus your choice!
Spanish Mission Trail

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 Time: 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Tickets: $75 USD
One of the countrys few National Parks within an urban setting, the
missions tell the early story of San Antonio and European expansion
in the New World. We will begin with the most famous of the
Missions, Mission San Antonio de Valero, better known as the Alamo.
Established in 1718, the Alamo played a pivotal role in Texas history.
The shrine displays exhibits from the battle and guests will enjoy the
beautifully landscaped grounds. Next we will explore the largest and
most restored of the Missions, Mission San Jose. Established in
1720, it is known as the Queen of the Missions and is the
showpiece of the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park. We will tour the Indian and Spanish soldiers quarters that were located within
the walls. San Joses church is one of the most beautiful in the country with its elaborate carvings on the chapel facade. At our last stop, we will
tour Mission Concepcion, the oldest un-restored mission church in Texas, established in 1731. Twin towers and a beautiful cupola helped make
it a construction project of twenty-plus years. Rare original frescoes decorate the church side rooms.
38
All tours are subject to cancellation based on a minimum of 25 participants.

Tours include meals where indicated, tickets and transportation.
Not for the Weak of Art

Thursday, June 6, 2013 Time: 9:00 a.m. 1:00 p.m.
Tickets: $90 USD
The diversity of San Antonio can be seen in the

expressions of the visual arts. The tour will begin with a
drive past some of the more notable public sculptures
that grace the city streetscapes, including the Torch
of Friendship. The Torch is our latest prize and is a gift
from the celebrated Mexican artist, Sebastian. We will
tour the impressive exhibits of the San Antonio Museum
of Art, located within the walls of the 19th century twin
foustory towers that were originally home to the Lone
Star Brewery. The museum showcases Greek and Italian
pottery of the Contemproary and Modern Art Collections
as well as expressions from Pre- Columbian, Spanish
Colonial and ancient Asian culture. It is also home to the
renowned Latin American Folk Art Collection of the late Nelson Rockefeller. Our next find is a hidden jewel, the McNay Art Museum. Set within
theformer Mediterranean-style mansion of the eccentric Marion Koogler McNay, the museum features modern, impressionist, medieval and Native
American paintings, sculpture and objects dart, Picasso, Chagal, Renoir and Monet among others.
Caverns & Cabernet

Friday, June 7, 2013 Time: 8:30 a.m. 1:30 p.m.
Tickets: $115 USD
Over 30 million years ago what we know now as the picturesque Texas Hill Country was a volcanic bed of activity and violent earthquakes forming
todays rich farmland to the east and rugged ranch land to the west. Our tour today will showcase the results of this activity, from deep caverns to
fertile soil. We begin with the Natural Bridge Caverns, named for the 60 foot natural limestone arch that spans the entrance. This cave is by far one
of the most spectacular in the area. Trails through the Caverns cover more than a mile and the temperature is 70 degrees year round. You will be
amazed by the natural formations. The sound of constantly dripping water is a reminder the cave is still alive and growing! Next we will enjoy the
fruits of ancient Texas at Dry Comal Creek Vineyards, nestled in a small protected valley. Proprietor Franklin Houser has honed his passion for the
grape into a quality winery. All of his vines and wines receive personal care and tending. From the picking to the bottling, every step is completed by
hand. We will taste four unique styled wines with Mr. Houser who will give an explanation of each wines history and character.
