Abstract: This paper is Part II of a study concerned with developing a formal framework for modeling air-cooled gas turbine cycles. It deals with the detailed specification of coolant flowrates and ...

Abstract: This paper is Part I of a study concerned with developing a formal framework for modeling air-cooled gas turbine cycles and deals with basic thermodynamic issues. Such cycles involve gas ...

Abstract: A thermodynamic cycle analysis computer code for the performance prediction of cooled gas turbines has been used to calculate the efficiency of plants with varying combustor outlet temperature, ...
