Abstract:
Gas Turbines are widely used in power production industry due to their higher efficiency and cleaner energy production. However, the procurement process of gas turbine requires analysis of various thermodynamic equations to conclude a preferable model of Gas Turbine. This project streamlines the process by taking in just five inputs available in gas turbine brochures and calculates various factors like efficiencies of compressor and turbine, mass flow rate of fuel and inlet air, the effect of inlet ambient conditions and exhaust gases compositions. Similarly, the program also calculates the various outputs in Combined cycle configuration. The relationship between different parameters of gas turbine has also been studied. Turbofans with high bypass ratio can be used for power production in the industry. Necessary modifications are studied and shaft power in terms of electrical power has been calculated. The effect of turbine inlet temperature on various factors is also analyzed. Next, single, and double shaft configurations of CCPP have been compared and analyzed. The effect of these two configurations on efficiency, emissions, and reliability have been research and concluded with the advantages and disadvantages of each configuration. In the last, the program with Graphical User Interface has been described.
