Abstract: Compressor intercooling has traditionally been employed to reduce compressor work and augment gas turbine output power. Conventional intercooling schemes are usually applied through nonmixed heat ...

Abstract: A stage-by-stage wet compression theory and algorithm have been developed for overspray and interstage fogging in the compressor. These theory and algorithm are used to calculate the performance ...

Abstract: Gas turbine inlet fog/overspray cooling is considered as a simple and effective method to increase power output. To help understand the water mist transport in the compressor flow passage, this ...

Abstract: The output and efficiency of gas turbines are reduced significantly during the summer, especially in areas where the daytime temperature reaches as high as 50°C. Gas turbine inlet fogging ...

Abstract: Presented are two optimality criterion techniques for the minimum weight design of mechanical and structural systems subject to limitations on stresses and natural frequencies. The results, based ...

Abstract: Presented in this paper are two new design techniques, based on optimality criteria, for selecting the cross-sectional sizes of the links within a mechanism. The objective is to minimize weight ...

Abstract: This paper presents a laboratory investigation aimed at establishing a protocol for the production of homogeneous asphalt mixtures test specimens, incorporating reclaimed asphalt by using a gyratory compactor with coring ...

Abstract: The effect of temperature on equilibrium adsorption for pure gases has been investigated. A simple generalized equation already proposed by Khan and colleagues was modified to include temperature dependence for the equilibrium ...

Abstract: A life cycle cost analysis was performed to compare life cycle costs of a novel gas turbine engine to those of a conventional microturbine with similar power capacity. This engine, called the ...
