Gas Turbine Lab

To effectively capture the energy lost from a diesel engine exhaust pressures, the turbocharger was implemented to boost the power of engine and thereby increasing the fuel efficiency. The majority of the heat energy from the exhaust and coolant has yet to be captured and utilised. There has been many challenges to recovering the heat as the low grade heat from the diesel engine cannot be

The objective of this project paper is to develop an efficient numerical code, for the prediction of the aerodynamic characteristics of Turbosail type wind turbine. A vortex model has been treated based on the lifting line theory.

A period of 5 years from 2008 to 2013 is considered for combustion instabilities performance evaluation before modifications measures are fully implemented. In the past major changes in the gas turbine exhaust gas temperature distribution as well as reduced margin to the combustion stability were observed in all 5 S1 gas turbines, leading to hot/cold spots events and trips, Acceleration Max 1,Max 2 unload events and Max 3 trips.

The objective of this lab experiment is to measure the material in the gas phase and to see how the ideal gas experiment could apply to the physical. In this the material we used was, a sip-lock plastic bag, a large plastic beaker, thermometry, dry ice, water, and butane lighter.

Purpose: To analyze a few physical and chemical properties of gases as well as using those properties to identify the gases.

In order to maintain synchronous speeds with the gas turbine while still reducing or increasing power output, the engine must be properly controlled [27]. “The control of the engine depends on where in the part-load curve the engine is operating” [27].

Contain 4 main components, Compressor housing, compressor wheel, Turbine housing, along with a turbine wheel. Exhaust gas enters the system through the compressor housing while the air flows over the compressor wheel it causes a chain reaction which results in a counterclockwise rotation of the turbine wheel. This rotation is the stage when exhaust gas turns to air pressure. The air pressure is returned to the engine through a waste-gated return hose/line. The pressurized air is then interchanged with combustible diesel fuel and ignited. The bigger the turbo charger is allows more mass air flow which results in more fuel being burned all this combined equals a greater amount of horsepower

In 2012, the amount of petroleum used every day skyrocketed to an all-time high of 88.9 million barrels used per day. (Energy, 2013) With such a huge dependency on fossil fuels today, it is critical that the world finds ways to increase efficiency to a maximum. That is why in most industries, new technology is always being produced that increases the efficiency of the machines, for example the aircraft industry. By simply adding afterburners in a jet turbine, excess jet fuel is not wasted, eliminating byproducts released into the atmosphere while gaining extra

6. The turbines turn the generators which produce electric power. (Please see to hydroelectric power on how the generators work. It 's basically the smae concept, but powered by moving water instead of moving steam.

An  increasing  global  demand  for  energy  is  an  immense  challenge  for  power  producers  around  the   world.   The   International   Energy   Agency   (IEA)   forecasts   that   the   world   economy   will   demand   at   least  40%  more  energy  by  2030.  As  a  result  of  the  fast-­‐‑growing  power  needs  in  emerging  markets   and   new,   cheaper   methods   of   extracting   natural   gas:   the   gas   turbine   market   is   expected   to   rise   substantially  to  accommodate  this.  Recent  studies  from  the  Federal  Energy  Regulatory  Commission   (FERC)   have   indicated   that   natural   gas-­‐‑fired   power   plants   utilizing   land-­‐‑based   gas   turbine   equipment  (known  as  combined  cycle  plants)  are  to  account  for  46%  of  the  new  power  generation   capacity  additions  through  2035  in  the  US  economy.

When I was looking at buying a vehicle, I was stuck with a choice of either a gas or diesel engine. I hardly tow or haul so I didn’t need a very powerful engine. I did care about the noise of my engine, and about having to keep up with the maintenance of the vehicle. Now that I decided to get a gas engine I am very happy that I got one, because I didn’t need the extra torque that the diesel engines

The objective of this lab is to investigate the conservation of total energy. There are two parts to this experiment:

Turbine-governor model GAST is an obsolete model that should not be used in interconnection-wide dynamics cases. The GAST model is “really only applicable for GE Frame 5 machines” .

According to “A. Boutier” Advanced facilities and instrumentation are required to supply the highly-detailed experimental data needed for CFD code development. The researchers used Questionnaire to answers all the Question.
