Gas turbine power augmentation / Mustapha Chaker in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of engineering for gas turbines and power, Vol. 133 N° 9 (Septembre 2011) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of engineering for gas turbines and power > Vol. 133 N° 9 (Septembre 2011) . - 10 p. Titre : Gas turbine power augmentation : parametric study relating to fog droplet size and its influence on evaporative efficiency Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mustapha Chaker, Auteur ; Cyrus B. Meher-Homji, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : 10 p. Note générale : Génie Mécanique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Cooling  Ducts  Evaporation  Gas  turbines  Nozzles Index. décimale : 620.1 Essais des matériaux. Défauts des matériaux. Protection des matériaux Résumé : Several gas turbine power augmentation techniques are available to counter the detrimental drop in power and thermal efficiency that occur at high ambient temperatures. Inlet fogging and wet compression are two common and relatively simple techniques. This paper addresses the influence and importance of droplet size on evaporative cooling performance and efficiency. Spray nozzles used for inlet fogging and wet compression include impaction pin, swirl jet, air assisted, and swirl flash nozzle designs. The evaporation efficiency of the atomized droplets from these nozzles depends on the droplet size, size distribution, and spray plume shape. Droplets size varies with nozzle type, configuration, operating conditions, and nozzle manifold location in the gas turbine inlet duct and are affected by airflow velocity, residence time, coalescence effects, and water carryover. The proper selection of nozzle type, nozzle manifold location, and nozzle distribution are of cardinal importance to avoid large droplets and under-/oversaturated areas, which would affect compressor mechanical and aerodynamic efficiency. Analytical and numerical studies are compared with experimental results. This paper provides a comprehensive treatment of parameters affecting droplet size and will be of value to gas turbine fog system designers and users.

Selection of climatic design points for gas turbine power augmentation / Mustapha Chaker in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of engineering for gas turbines and power, Vol. 134 N° 4 (Avril 2012) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of engineering for gas turbines and power > Vol. 134 N° 4 (Avril 2012) . - 14 p. Titre : Selection of climatic design points for gas turbine power augmentation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mustapha Chaker, Auteur ; Cyrus B. Meher-Homji, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : 14 p. Note générale : Génie mécanique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Gas  turbines  Power  transmission  (mechanical) Index. décimale : 620.1 Essais des matériaux. Défauts des matériaux. Protection des matériaux Résumé : There is a widespread interest in the application of gas turbine power augmentation technologies such as evaporative cooling and mechanical chilling in the mechanical drive and power generation markets. Very often, the selection of the design point is based on the use of American Society of Heating and Refrigeration Engineers (ASHRAE) data or a design point that is in the basis of design for the project. This approach can be detrimental and can result in a non optimal solution. In order to evaluate the benefits of power augmentation, users can use locally collected weather data, or recorded hourly bin data set from databases such as typical meteorological year (TMY), engineering weather data (EWD), and integrated weather surface (IWS). This paper will cover a suggested approach for the analysis of climatic data for power augmentation applications and show how the selection of the design point can impact performance. The final selection of the design point depends on the specific application, the revenues generated and installation costs. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first attempt to treat this topic in a structured analytical manner by comparing available database information with actual climatic conditions.
