in this presentation , the different engine inefficiencies has been discussed including all sort of friction losses which affects the brake power of the engine. It includes volumetric efficiency, thermal efficiency, IMEP, BMEP, brake power etc.
In electric power generation a combined cycle is an assembly of heat engines that work in tandem from the same source of heat, converting it into mechanical energy, which in turn usually drives electrical generators. The principle is that after completing its cycle (in the first engine), the temperature of the working fluid engine is still high enough that a second subsequent heat engine may extract energy from the waste heat that the first engine produced. By combining these multiple streams of work upon a single mechanical shaft turning an electric generator, the overall net efficiency of the system may be increased by 50–60%. That is, from an overall efficiency of say 34% (in a single cycle) to possibly an overall efficiency of 51% (in a mechanical combination of two cycles) in net Carnot thermodynamic efficiency. This can be done because heat engines are only able to use a portion of the energy their fuel generates (usually less than 50%). In an ordinary (non combined cycle) heat engine the remaining heat (e.g., hot exhaust fumes) from combustion is generally wasted.
Combining two or more thermodynamic cycles results in improved overall efficiency, reducing fuel costs. In stationary power plants, a widely used combination is a gas turbine (operating by the Brayton cycle) burning natural gas or synthesis gas from coal, whose hot exhaust powers a steam power plant (operating by the Rankine cycle). This is called a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plant, and can achieve a best-of-class real (HHV - see below) thermal efficiency of around 54% in base-load operation, in contrast to a single cycle steam power plant which is limited to efficiencies of around 35–42%. Many new gas power plants in North America and Europe are of the Combined Cycle Gas Turbine type. Such an arrangement is also used for marine propulsion, and is called a combined gas and steam (COGAS) plant. Multiple stage turbine or steam cycles are also common.

The combined cycle gas turbine integrates the Brayton cycle as topping cycle and the steam turbine
Rankine cycle as bottoming cycle in order to achieve higher thermal efficiency and proper utilization of
energy by minimizing the energy loss to a minimum. In this work, the effect of various operating
parameters such as maximum temperature and pressure of Rankine cycle, turbine inlet temperature and
pressure ratio of Brayton cycle on the net output work and thermal efficiency of the combine cycle are
investigated. The outcome of this work can be utilized in order to facilitate the design of a combined cycle
with higher efficiency and output work. A MATLAB simulation has been carried out to study the effects and

Thermal analysis of cooling effect on gas turbine bladeeSAT Journals
Abstract Performance of a gas turbine is mainly depends on various parameters e.g. ambient temperature, compressor pressure ratio, turbine inlet temperature etc. The most important parameter to increase the life of the turbine blade is the cooling of the blade, which is necessary after reaching a certain temperature of the gases passing through the blades. Various types of cooling models are available for a turbine blade cooling. The power output of a gas turbine depends on the mass flow rate through it. This is precisely the reason why on hot days, when air is less dense, power output falls off. This paper is to analyze the film cooling technique that was developed to cool gases in the initial stages of the turbine blades, where temperature is very high (>1122 K). It is found that the thermal efficiency of a cooled gas turbine is less as compare to the uncooled gas turbine for the same input conditions. The reason is that the temperature at the inlet of the turbine is decreased due to cooling and the work produced by the turbine is slightly decreased. It is also found that the power consumption of the cool inlet air is of considerable concern since it decreases the net power output of gas turbine. In addition, net power decreases on increasing the overall pressure ratio. Furthermore, the reviewed works revealed that the efficiency of the cooled gas turbine largely depends on the inlet temperature of the turbine and previous research said that the temperature above 1123K, require cooling of the blade. Keywords: Gas turbine, Turbine blade cooling, film cooling technique, Thermal Efficiency

Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. There are two type of water scarcity. One is physical. The other is economic water scarcity.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Brayton Cycle: Ideal Cycle for Gas-Turbine Engines
Gas turbines usually operate on an open cycle (Fig. 9–29).
Air at ambient conditions is drawn into the compressor, where its temperature and
pressure are raised. The high pressure air proceeds into the combustion chamber,
where the fuel is burned at constant pressure.
The high-temperature gases then
enter the turbine where they expand
to atmospheric pressure while
producing power output.
Some of the output power is used to
drive the compressor.
The exhaust gases leaving the
turbine are thrown out (not re-
circulated), causing the cycle to be
classified as an open cycle.

26. 26
The open gas-turbine cycle can be
modelled as a closed cycle, using
the air-standard assumptions (Fig.
9–30).
The compression and expansion
processes remain the same, but the
combustion process is replaced by
a constant-pressure heat
addition process from an external
source.
The exhaust process is replaced by
a constant-pressure heat
rejection process to the ambient
air.
Closed Cycle Model

27. 27
The ideal cycle that the working fluid
undergoes in the closed loop is the Brayton
cycle. It is made up of four internally
reversible processes:
1-2 Isentropic compression;
2-3 Constant-pressure heat addition;
3-4 Isentropic expansion;
4-1 Constant-pressure heat rejection.
The T-s and P-v diagrams of an ideal Brayton
cycle are shown in Fig. 9–31.
Note: All four processes of the Brayton cycle
are executed in steady-flow devices thus,
they should be analyzed as steady-flow
processes.

of these parameters, which is also the
case for actual gas turbines.

The early gas turbines (1940s to 1959s) found only limited use despite their
versatility and their ability to burn a variety of fuels, because its thermal efficiency
was only about 17%. Efforts to improve the cycle efficiency are concentrated in
three areas:
1. Increasing the turbine inlet (or firing) temperatures.
The turbine inlet temperatures have increased steadily from about 540°C
(1000°F) in the 1940s to 1425°C (2600°F) and even higher today.
2. Increasing the efficiencies of turbo-machinery components (turbines,
compressors).
The advent of computers and advanced techniques for computer-aided design
made it possible to design these components aerodynamically with minimal
losses.
3. Adding modifications to the basic cycle (intercooling, regeneration or
recuperation, and reheating).
The simple-cycle efficiencies of early gas turbines were practically doubled by
incorporating intercooling, regeneration (or recuperation), and reheating.

Actual Gas-Turbine Cycles
Some pressure drop occurs during the
heat-addition and heat rejection processes.
The actual work input to the compressor is
more, and the actual work output from the
turbine is less, because of irreversibilities.
Deviation of actual compressor and
turbine behavior from the idealized
isentropic behavior can be accounted
for by utilizing isentropic efficiencies
of the turbine and compressor.

Brayton Cycle With Regeneration
Temperature of the exhaust gas leaving the turbine is
higher than the temperature of the air leaving the
compressor.
The air leaving the compressor can be heated by the
hot exhaust gases in a counter-flow heat exchanger (a
regenerator or recuperator) – a process called
regeneration (Fig. 9-38 & Fig. 9-39).
The thermal efficiency of the Brayton cycle increases
due to regeneration since less fuel is used for the same
work output.
Note:
The use of a regenerator
is recommended only
when the turbine exhaust
temperature is higher than
the compressor exit
temperature.

Brayton Cycle With Intercooling,
Reheating, & Regeneration
The net work output of a gas-turbine cycle
can be increased by either:
a) decreasing the compressor work, or
b) increasing the turbine work, or
c) both.
The compressor work input can be decreased by
carrying out the compression process in stages
and cooling the gas in between (Fig. 9-42), using
multistage compression with intercooling.
The work output of a turbine can be increased by
expanding the gas in stages and reheating it in
between, utilizing a multistage expansion with
reheating.

The work input to a two-stage compressor is minimized when equal pressure
ratios are maintained across each stage. This procedure also maximizes the
turbine work output.
Thus, for best performance we have,
Conditions for Best Performance
Intercooling and reheating always

are accompanied by regeneration.
Therefore, in gas turbine power
plants, intercooling and reheating are
always used in conjunction with
regeneration.

Compare Open cycle and Closed cycle Gas turbines
Open cycle:
1.Warm-up time. Once the turbine is brought up to the rated speed by the starting motor
and the fuel is ignited, the gas turbine will be accelerated from cold start to full load
without warm-up time.
2. Low weight and size. The weight in kg per kW developed is less.
3. Open cycle plants occupy comparatively little space.
4. Open-cycle gas turbine power plant, except those having an intercooler, does not
require cooling water.
5. The part load efficiency of the open cycle plant decreases rapidly as the
considerable percentage of power developed by the turbine is used to drive the
compressor.
6. The open-cycle gas turbine plant has high air rate compared to the other cycles,
therefore, it results in increased loss of heat in the exhaust gases.

Closed cycle:
1. The machine can be smaller and cheaper than the machine used to develop the
same power using open cycle plant.
2. The closed cycle avoids erosion of the turbine blades due to the contaminated
gases and fouling of compressor blades due to dust. Therefore, it is practically free from
deterioration of efficiency in service.
3. The need for filtration of the incoming air which is a severe problem in open cycle plant
is completely eliminated.
4. The maintenance cost is low and reliability is high due to longer useful life.
5. The system is dependent on external means as considerable quantity of cooling water
is required in the pre-cooler.
6. The response to the load variations is poor compared to the open-cycle plant

40. Gas Turbines
• Gas turbines also called combustion turbines, a type
of IC engine in which burning of an air-fuel mixture
produces hot gases that spin a turbine to produce
power.
• It is the production of hot gas during fuel
combustion, not the fuel itself that the gives gas
turbines the name.
• Combustion occurs continuously in gas turbines, as
opposed to reciprocating IC engines, in which
combustion occurs intermittently.

43. Components Of Gas Turbine
Gas turbines have three main parts:
i)Air compressor
ii) Combustion chamber
iii) Turbine
44. Air compressor:
The air compressor and turbine are mounted at
either end on a common shaft, with the
combustion chamber between them.
Gas turbines are not self starting. A starting
motor is used.
The air compressor sucks in air and compresses
it, thereby increasing its pressure.
S.PALANIVEL ASSOCIATE PROF./MECH ENGG
KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGG.&TECH. (NEAR) VIRUDHUNAGAR
45. Combustion chamber:
In the combustion chamber, the compressed air
combines with fuel and the resulting mixture is
burnt.
The greater the pressure of air, the better the
fuel air mixture burns.
Modern gas turbines usually use liquid fuel, but
they may also use gaseous fuel, natural gas or
gas produced artificially by gasification of a
solid fuel.

46. Turbine:
Hot gases move through a multistage gas
turbine.
Like in steam turbine, the gas turbine also has
stationary and moving blades.
The stationary blades
guide the moving gases to the rotor blades
adjust its velocity.
The shaft of the turbine is coupled to a
generator.

the temp. in a dry bottom pulversied coal
furnace is about 1300 deg. C.

a topping unit to the steam power plant, a
higher energy conversion efficiency from
fuel to electricity could be achieved,
• since the combined plant operates through a
higher temp. range.

power plant is the Brayton Cycle, which like

load station to offer the utilities the gas
turbine advantages of quick starting and
stopping and permit flexible operation of the
combined plant over a wide range of loads.

55. Coal based combined cycle plants
Coal is low grade fuel compared to oil and natural gas, but
reserves of coal are very large, much effort has been
devoted to developing clean coal technologies to reduce
harmful emissions of SOx & Nox.
Successful usage of coals for combined cycle power
generation necessitated the development of firing systems
whose products of combustion have
1.Sufficiently low concentration of particulates to reduce
erosion and ensure a satisfactory life of GT.
2.Sufficiently low concentrations of pollutant gases and
particulates in the exhaust to satisfy environmental
regulation relating to discharges from power plants.
S.PALANIVEL ASSOCIATE PROF./MECH ENGG
KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGG. & TECH (NEAR) VIRUDHUNAGAR
56. • To reduce the concentration of particulates in products of
combustion before entering the gas turbine, hot clean-up
systems like multi- cyclones, ceramic filters etc. developed.
• To control emission of oxides of sulphur and nitrogen,
different techniques like low NOx burners, staged
combustion, flue gas scrubbing etc. are being put into use.
• Following are two dominant coal based technologies.
1.Pressurised fluidized bed combustion (PFBC) system, which
may be either bubbling fluidized or circulating fluidized bed.
2. Integrated Gasified Combined cycle (IGCC)
S.PALANIVEL ASSOCIATE PROF./MECH ENGG
KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGG. & TECH (NEAR) VIRUDHUNAGAR
57. PFBC based combined cycle
• This system supplies hot gas at elevated pressure to gas
turbine via hot gas cleanup system.
• Coal and lime stone are supplied to the pressurized
combustor. Limestone is used as the bed material to absorb
sulphur.
• Cooling tubes immersed in the fluidized bed are used to
generate steam which is supplied to steam turbine.
• The combustion products leaving the combustor are passed
through a clean-up system before being expanded in the gas
turbine.
• Exhaust gases are then passed through a heat exchanger
which heats the feed water before being discharged.
• Temp. in PFBC is limited to about 850 deg. C because this is
the most favorable temp of sulphur retention and is below
the ash fusion temp. of coal
S.PALANIVEL ASSOCIATE PROF./MECH ENGG
KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGG. & TECH (NEAR) VIRUDHUNAGAR
58. Integrated gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC)
• Coal is gasified, either partially or fully and the gas produced
after clean-up is burnt in the combustion chamber of GT. It
is called an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC)
• Coal and limestone are fed to a pressure vessel, the coal
being gasified by oxygen and steam. The ash and limestone
form a slag which is discharged and the gas is cooled.
• The use of air instead of oxygen produces a gas of lower
calorific value.
• Exhaust gases from GT raise steam in the HRSG.
• The thermo dynamic performance of an IGCC power plant
shows that there is an optimum pressure ratio for the gas
cycle at a given temp. ratio (T3/T0) for max. cycle efficiency.
S.PALANIVEL ASSOCIATE PROF./MECH ENGG
KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGG. & TECH (NEAR) VIRUDHUNAGAR
59. IGCC
• An integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is a technology that
uses a high pressure gasifier to turn coal and other carbon based fuels
into pressurized gas—synthesis gas . Impurities removed from the
syngas prior to the power generation cycle.
• Some of these pollutants, such as sulfur, can be turned into re-usable
byproducts through the Claus Process. This results in lower emissions of
Sulfur dioxide, mercury and in some cases Carbon dioxide.
• With additional process equipment, a water gas reaction can increase
gasification efficiency and reduce carbon monoxide emissions by
converting it to carbon dioxide. The resulting carbon dioxide from the
shift reaction can be separated, compressed, and stored through
sequestration.
• Excess heat from the primary combustion and syngas fired generation is
then passed to a steam cycle, similar to a combined cycle gas turbine.
• This process results in improved thermodynamic efficiency compared to
conventional pulverized coal combustion.

60. Block diagram of IGCC Plant
S.PALANIVEL ASSOCIATE PROF./MECH ENGG
KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGG. & TECH (NEAR) VIRUDHUNAGAR
61. • The plant is called integrated because
• the syngas produced in the gasification section is used as fuel for
the gas turbine in the combined cycle and
• the steam produced by the syngas coolers in the gasification
section is used by the steam turbine in the combined cycle.
• In this example the syngas produced is used as fuel in a gas
turbine which produces electrical power. In a normal combined
cycle, so-called "waste heat" from the gas turbine exhaust is used
in a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) to make steam for
the steam turbine cycle.
• An IGCC plant improves the overall process efficiency by adding
the higher-temperature steam produced by the gasification
process to the steam turbine cycle. This steam is then used in
steam turbines to produce additional electrical power.
S.PALANIVEL ASSOCIATE PROF./MECH ENGG
KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGG. & TECH (NEAR) VIRUDHUNAGAR
62. Advantages & Disadvantages of IGCC
• IGCC plants are advantageous in comparison
to conventional coal power plants due to
their high thermal efficiency, low non-carbon
greenhouse gas emissions, and capability to
process low grade coal.
• The disadvantages include higher capital and
maintenance costs, and the amount of CO2
released without pre-combustion capture.
S.PALANIVEL ASSOCIATE PROF./MECH ENGG
KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGG. & TECH (NEAR) VIRUDHUNAGAR
63. Process of IGCC
• The solid coal is gasified to produce syngas, or
synthetic gas.
• Syngas is synthesized by gasifying coal in a closed
pressurized reactor with a shortage of oxygen.
• The shortage of oxygen ensures that coal is broken
down by the heat and pressure as opposed to
burning completely.
• The chemical reaction between coal and oxygen
produces a product that is a mixture of carbon and
hydrogen, or syngas.
CxHy + (x/2)O2 → (x)CO2 + (y/2)H2
S.PALANIVEL ASSOCIATE PROF./MECH ENGG
KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGG. & TECH (NEAR) VIRUDHUNAGAR
64. • The heat from the production of syngas is
used to produce steam from cooling water
which is then used for steam turbine
electricity production.
• The syngas must go through a pre-
combustion separation process to remove
CO2 and other impurities to produce a more
purified fuel.
S.PALANIVEL ASSOCIATE PROF./MECH ENGG
KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGG. & TECH (NEAR) VIRUDHUNAGAR
65. • Three steps are necessary for the separation of impurities :
Water gas shift reaction : The reaction that occurs in a
water-gas-shift reactor is CO + H2O CO⇌ 2 + H2. This
produces a syngas with a higher composition of hydrogen
fuel which is more efficient for burning later in
combustion.
Physical separation process: This can be done through
various mechanisms such as absorption, adsorption or
membrane separation.
Drying, compression and storage/shipping.
• The resulting syngas fuels a combustion turbine that
produces electricity. At this stage the syngas is fairly
pure H2. S.PALANIVEL ASSOCIATE PROF./MECH ENGG

• Improvising of Brayton Cycle plant by combining with Steam
turbine with Rankine cycle are possible in the following
methods :
• 1.1Two cyclic power plants coupled in series : The topping
plant (GT) operating on Brayton cycle and the bottom one
(ST) operating on Rankine cycle.
• Over all efficiency of the combined plant is given by
=Ƞ Ƞ1 + Ƞ2 - Ƞ1Ƞ2
• WhereȠ1 = Thermal efficiency of Brayton Cycle (GT) and
Ƞ2 = thermal Efficiency of Rankine
• In the above all the heat rejected by the topping plant (GT)
is absorbed by the bottom plant (ST)S.PALANIVEL ASSOCIATE PROF./MECH ENGG
KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGG. & TECH (NEAR) VIRUDHUNAGAR
67. • 1.2 Heat losses between two plants in series : There is
always some heat loss and the heat absorbed is less than the
heat rejected.
• Let QLbe the heat loss between two plants, then the overall
efficiency is =Ƞ Ƞ1 + Ƞ2 - Ƞ1Ƞ2 - Ƞ2XL
• XL= fraction of heat lost (Q1/QL)
• Two cyclic plants operating in parallel : let us consider two
plants operating in parallel , one in Brayton cycle and other
one from Rankine Cycle.
• The total heat supplied Q1 is divided beteen two plants as
Q2 and Q4, so that X1= Q2/Q1 = Q2/(Q2+Q4)
• The overall efficiency of the combined plant
= Ƞ2 + X1(Ƞ1 - Ƞ2 ) ………. AS.PALANIVEL ASSOCIATE PROF./MECH ENGG

68. • If X2 = Q4/Q1 = Q4/(Q2+Q4)
• The overall efficiency of the combined plant = Ƞ1 -
x2(Ƞ1 - Ƞ2 ) ………. B
• If Ƞ1 > Ƞ2, then >Ƞ Ƞ2 as per A
• <Ƞ Ƞ1 as per B
• Hence lies betweenȠ Ƞ1 and Ƞ2
• Thus no advantage to parallel system.
• If the Cyclic plant 1 operating on Brayton cycle
could absorb more heat say equal to Q1 + Q4, then
it would be advantangeous to use that plant alone.

series having supplementary firing
• Let the fraction of the total heat supplied is used for
supplementary heating be X2= Q4/Q1
• overall efficiency is =Ƞ Ƞ1 + Ƞ2 - Ƞ1Ƞ2 - Ƞ1X2(1- Ƞ2 )
• Therefore the overall efficiency of a series – parallel plant
is less than that of two coupled cycles in series since the
last term is positive.
• In the absence of supplementary heating ie. When x2 =0,
the overall efficiency is that of ideal series plant.S.PALANIVEL ASSOCIATE PROF./MECH ENGG

fraction of heat loss to heat supply XL = QL /Q1 ,
where QL = heat loss to surrounding
• Overall efficiency is =Ƞ Ƞ1 + Ƞ2 - Ƞ1Ƞ2 - XLȠ2-
Ƞ1X2(1- Ƞ2 ) :
• If X2 = 0
=Ƞ Ƞ1 + Ƞ2 - Ƞ1Ƞ2 - XLȠ2
S.PALANIVEL ASSOCIATE PROF./MECH ENGG
KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGG. & TECH (NEAR) VIRUDHUNAGAR
71. • Combined Cycle Plants with limited supplementary firing :
Supplementary firing raises the temp. of the exhaust gas to
800 to 900 deg. C. relatively high flue gas temp. raises the
condition of steam ( 84 bar, 525 deg.C) there by improving
the efficiency of the steam cycle.
• Combined Cycle Plants with maximum supplementary firing :
Maximum supplementary firing refers to the maximum fuel
that can be fired with the oxygen available in the Gas turbine
exhaust. The use of large supplementary firing in Combined
cycle plants with GT inlet temp. causes the efficiency to drop.
• For this reason Combined cycle plants with maximum
supplementary firing are only of minimal importance in
comparison to simple Combined Cycle plants.
