Gas turbines convert chemical energy bound in natural gas into mechanical energy. For example, they are used to drive power plant generators, a subject studied by students of mechanical engineering at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). For education purposes, Siemens AG has now made available a cutaway model of the gas turbine SGT5-8000H. Representatives of the media are cordially invited to come the hand-over on Friday, March 8, 17 hrs, at the seminar room of the Institute of Thermal Turbomachinery (building 30.60/61) on KIT Campus South.
In close partnership with society, KIT develops solutions for urgent challenges – from climate change, energy transition and sustainable use of natural resources to artificial intelligence, sovereignty and an aging population. As The University in the Helmholtz Association, KIT unites scientific excellence from insight to application-driven research under one roof – and is thus in a unique position to drive this transformation. As a University of Excellence, KIT offers its more than 10,000 employees and 22,800 students outstanding opportunities to shape a sustainable and resilient future. KIT – Science for Impact.
