Important Comments:
What if I am not interested in Compactness.
Should I prefer high Pressure Ratio for Efficient Plant?
Why the plant is compact at this condition?
What else can be inferred form this condition?
The state-of-the-art
• The newer large industrial gas turbines size have increased and capable of generating as much as 200 MW at 50 Hz.
• The turbine entry temperature has increased to 12600C, and the pressure ratio is 16:1.
• Typical simple cycle efficiencies on natural gas are 35%. • The ABB GT 13 E2 is rated at 164 MW gross output on natural
gas, with an efficiency of 35.7%. • The pressure ratio is 15:1. • The combustion system is designed for low Nox production.
• The dry Nox is less than 25 ppm on natural gas. • The turbine entry temperature is 11000C and the exhaust
temperature is 5250C. • The turbine has five stages, and the first two rotor stages and
the first three stator stages are cooled; • the roots of the last two stages are also cooled.
• Siemens power corporation described their model V84.3.
• This is rated at 152 MW at an efficiency of 36.1%. The pressure ratio is 16:1.
• Six burners designed for low Nox emissions are
installed in each chamber.
• The turbine entry temperature is 12900C and the
exhaust temperature is 550 C. • The turbine has four stages and the first three
rotating stages are air cooled. • The effectiveness of the cooling is improved by inter-
cooling the cooling air after it is with drawn from the compressor.
• General Electric and European Gas Turbines have jointly developed the MS9001F 50Hz engine.
• This unit generates 215 MW at an efficiency of 35%. • The engine uses an 18 stage compressor with an overall
compression ratio of order of 20:1. • The gas turbine has three stages, with the first two stages
cooled. • Turbine entry temperature is 1288 C. • These large high efficiency units can be used for peak lopping
purposes. • The research for more efficient gas turbine-based power
generation cycles has been underway for some time. The aims are:
• - Higher turbine entry gas temperature, - Higher compressor efficiency and capability
• The different manufactures participated and initiated the collaborative advanced gas turbine.
• The outcome of their effort include a variety of advanced cycle options, including intercooling, humid air turbine, steam injection, reheat combustor and chemical recuperation.
• The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has initiated a development program called the advanced turbine system (ATS).
• The aim of ATS is to achieve over 60% efficiency, with low Nox
and suitable operating costs at the end of a 10-year program. • They pictured the program with increasing in firing temperature
up to over 1427 C and changes in cycle, as intercooling, reheat combustors, massive moisture injection and chemical recuperation.

The Ideal Machine
• 1824: Sadi Carnot, who founded the science of thermodynamics, identified several fundamental ideas that would be incorporated in later internal combustion engines: – He noted that air compressed by a ratio of 15 to 1 would
be hot enough (200°C) to ignite dry wood.– He recommended compressing the air before combustion.
Fuel could then be added by "an easily invented injector".– Carnot realized that the cylinder walls would require
cooling to permit continuous operation. – Later, Diesel thought he could avoid this, but found out
the hard way. – He noted that usable heat would be available in the
exhaust, and recommended passing it under a water boiler.
Developments in Gas Turbine Cycles
1. The wet compression (WC) cycle
2. The steam injected gas turbine (STIG) cycle
3. The integrated WC & STIG (SWC) cycle
4. Themo-chemical Recuperation cycles
Wet compression
• One of the most effective ways to increase the gas turbine power output is to reduce the amount of work required for its compressor.
• A gas turbine compressor consumes about 30 to 50% of work produced by the turbine.

The wet compression (WC) cycle
• The wet compression cycle has the following benefits over the simple cycle.
1. Lower compressor work
2. Higher turbine work
3. Higher cycle efficiency
ISENTROPIC INDEX OF WET COMPRESSION PROCESS
• Isentropic index of wet compression can be obtained from the equation

L dw k
R dT k
Where k=Isentropic index of wet compression, dw/dT = Evaporative rate kg/k, L= Latent heat kJ/kg, R=Gas constant of humid air kJ/kg k.

Compressor work with wet compression
• Compressor work with wet compression is a function of
1. Pressure ratio ,
2. Evaporative rate dw/dT and
3. Geometry of the compressor.
• Wet compression work is much lower than that of dry air compression work.
• The higher is the pressure ratio, more the saving in compressor work.

The steam injected gas turbine (STIG) cycle
• Steam injection into the combustion chamber of a gas turbine is one of the ways to achieve power augmentation and efficiency gain.
• In a steam injected gas turbine (STIG), the heat of exhaust gasses of the gas turbine is used to produce steam in a heat recovery steam generator.
• The steam is injected into the combustion chamber or before entering the combustion chamber (i.e. in the compressor discharge).
• STIG cycle has higher cycle efficiency than the WC cycle.• STIG cycle gives higher net work out put than the WC
cycle up to a pressure ratio of 7.

The integrated WC & STIG (SWC) cycle
• It has the combined benefit of the advantage of higher efficiency of STIG cycle and higher net work output of WC cycle.
• But its cycle efficiency is less than that of the STIG cycle owing to the need for higher heat input.

Future work
There are many areas and challenges which can be explored further to this work. They are:
• Economic feasibility of these cycles need to be studied.
• Compressor life reduction due to water injection. (because of the off design running conditions that prevail in reality).
• The difficulties involved in designing a turbine to handle large mass flow rates of combustion gasses and steam.
• The effect of steam injection in reducing NOX emissions.

Clues from Nature to get Better Fuel
• One of such clue is Thermo Chemical Recuperation
• The major reactions involved in Steam-TCR are well known, and the overall reaction for a general hydrocarbon fuel, CnHm, is:
The formation of carbon must be minimized in the operation of the reformer to minimize fouling of heat transfer surfaces, blinding of catalyst particles, plugging of flow paths and carbon losses.
The theoretical merits of the Steam-TCR concept are based on the overall endothermic nature of the reforming chemical reactions, and the formation of a low-thermal-value fuel gas replacing the high-thermal-value turbine fuel, with both factors contributing to improved efficiency
