The gas turbine in the power generation building is a vital element of the performance and financial viability of the whole plant.
Investigate the principles of operation of the gas turbine and relate your findings to the design, running and maintenance of such a system.
Consider a thermal power plant with reheating and cogeneration. It produces 5 MW of power and 4 MW of process heat. The steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 8 MPa and 480 °C and expands to 1.2 MPa, to be reheated to 450 C. Subsequently, at a pressure of 0.8 MPa, a fraction of 0.152 of steam is extracted, which is sent as process heat. Then, at a pressure of 0.25 MPa, another extraction is made to preheat feed water in a closed heater, whose condensate (saturated liquid) expands and is sent to the condenser, whose pressure is 15 kPa, from which saturated liquid comes out. Subsequently, it is pumped to a mixer where it joins with the subcooled liquid at 120 C and 0.8 MPa that comes from the industrial process, to be later pumped to the steam generator. Consider the isentropic efficiencies of the turbines of 88% and of the pumps of 82%. In the steam generator and in the superheater, natural gas is used, whose simplified composition is 83.2% CH4, 11% C2H6, 0.8% S, 3.6% N2 and 1.4% CO2…
