Abstract: The possibility to augment the power output of gas turbines by the use of water injection becomes more and more attractive in recent years as unsteadily available renewable energy sources become more present and the need ...

Abstract: Fundamental investigation of secondary flow phenomena in a radial turbine nozzle are presented. Laser two focus (L2F) measurements have been used for validation of numerical computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculations. ...

Abstract: This study reports on numerically calculated thermophysical properties of air entering a gas turbine compressor after passing through an intake duct affected by different cooling techniques. Case of reference is unaffected ...

Abstract: In recent years, overspray fogging has become a powerful means for power augmentation of industrial gas turbines (GT). Most of the studies concerning this topic focus on the problem from a thermodynamic point of view. Only ...

Abstract: In recent years overspray fogging has become a powerful means for power augmentation of industrial gas turbines. Despite the positive thermodynamic effect on the cycle droplets entering the compressor increase the risk of ...
