A critical issue concerning the gas turbine is that its power decreases considerably with
increasing ambient temperature. Recently, it was proposed to maximize the power output of …

This study describes a rotating detonation combustor (RDC) equipped with a set of nozzle
guide vanes (NGVs) of variable number and inclination angle. Different instrumented guide …

Gas turbine plants (GTP) for a long time have been developed by means of increasing the
initial gas temperature and improvement of the turbo-machines aerodynamics and the …

The simultaneous use of gas turbine reheating and recuperation is favorable for improving
the efficiency of the gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC). However, less power output is …

Abstract Supercritical CO2 (sCO2) power cycles have been proposed as an alternative to
steam bottoming cycles for natural gas combined cycle applications. This paper presents a …

This study investigates the possibility of achieving 65% efficiency in a gas turbine combined
cycle. Several options to realize it were compared. A sensitivity analysis was performed for …

This chapter addresses steam Rankine bottoming cycle design and optimization for gas
turbine combined cycles (GTCC). State-of-the-art GTCC plants currently offer net power …

As gas turbines are operated and maintained, it is key to understand engine firing
temperatures at cyclical and variable load operations, and more specifically, the tradeoff …

A detailed look at the gas turbine (GT) technology over the last three decades clearly shows
that an asymptotic limit is reached in thermal efficiency in combined cycle (CC) …

Wet compression is well known in the gas turbine industry. It may be called “high-fogging” or
“over-fogging” too. The idea is to inject an evenly distributed cloud of fine water droplets into …
