Abstract: This paper evaluates the performance of a Brayton cycle gas turbine, in terms of power output and conversion efficiency. Sensitivity of this performance to the realistic value of each input ...

Abstract: The use of gas turbine and combined cycle power plants for thermal and electric power generation is, nowadays, a consolidated technology. Moreover, the employment of combined heat and power ...

Abstract: The knowledge of off-design performance for a given gas turbine system is critical particularly in applications where considerable operation at low load setting is required. This information ...

Abstract: This paper presents a thermo-economic analysis of an intercooled, reheat (ICRH) gas turbine, with and without recuperation, for cogeneration applications. The optimization analyses of thermodynamic ...

Abstract: In the paper a feasibility study of inverted Brayton cycle (IBC) engines, for the repowering of existing gas turbines, is presented. The following main phases have been carried out: (i) ...
