Abstract: Combined gas-steam cycles have been analyzed from the thermodynamic point of view. Suitable thermodynamics indices—explained in Appendix A—have been utilized. The parameters that most influence ...

Abstract: A simple steam-injected gas turbine cycle equipped with an exhaust heat recovery section is analyzed. The heat recovery section consists of a waste heat boiler, which produces the steam to be ...

Abstract: The influence of steam cycle regeneration on combined plant performance has been analyzed from the thermodynamic point of view. A mathematical model has been developed and calculations have been ...

Abstract: A potential flow model based on the Douglas–Neumann formulation that can handle interaction problems has been used to analyze the pressure distribution produced by a stator-strut system at the ...

Abstract: The objective of the paper is to assess the feasibility of the neural network (NN) approach in power plant process evaluations. A “feed-forward” technique with a back propagation algorithm was ...
