This document discusses the design process for a high pressure turbine (HPT). It includes:
1) Performing cycle calculations to obtain inlet parameters and determining key design variables.
2) Developing the meanline design including velocity triangles and geometric parameters for vanes and blades.
3) Calculating losses and efficiencies using loss prediction models.
4) Considering off-design performance with changes to operating conditions.
5) Comparing acquisition and overhauling costs of different blade materials to determine the most economical design while meeting efficiency targets.
