Abstract: A thermodynamic model for a gas turbine-fuel cell hybrid is created and described in the paper. The effects of gas turbine design parameters such as compressor pressure ratio, compressor ...

Abstract: Mixed operation with both centrifugal and reciprocating compressors in a compression plant poses significant operational challenges as pressure pulsations and machine mismatches lead to centrifugal ...

Abstract: An analytical model is generated that allows the evaluation of the compression system. It is also used to derive general rules for optimizing a system. Several strategies for the compression ...

Abstract: Fouling of compressor blades is an important mechanism leading to performance deterioration in gas turbines over time. Fouling is caused by the adherence of particles to airfoils and annulus ...

Abstract: This paper provides a discussion on how degradation develops and affects the performance of the gas turbine. Because the function of a gas turbine is the result of the fine-tuned cooperation ...

Abstract: Significant interest exists in the military and commercial aerospace industry to better predict and improve the durability of gas turbine jet engines that are operating in hostile desert ...

Abstract: Gas turbine power enhancement technologies, such as inlet fogging, interstage water injection, saturation cooling, inlet chillers, and combustor injection, are being employed by end users without ...

Abstract: The transient behavior of compressor stations, particularly under rapidly changing conditions, is of vital interest to operators. Predicting transient behavior is an important factor in avoiding ...

Abstract: Transient studies for compressor systems allow the prediction of the compressor system behavior during fast transients such as they occur during emergency shutdowns. For the system simulations, ...

Abstract: “Dynamic pressure loss” is often used to describe the added loss associated with the time varying components of an unsteady flow through a piping system in centrifugal and reciprocating compressor ...
