Biodiesel for Gas Turbine Application — An Atomization Characteristics Study

چکیده
Fossil fuel has been the primary source of fuel ever since it was discovered and comes in the form of coal, petroleum and natural gas. Discovery of fossil fuel dates back to prehistoric time where caveman discovered how to burn coal for heat source. Coal which is also part of fossil fuel and is developed over millions of years can even extend up to 650 million years. With excessive usage of fossil fuel as source of energy, amount of fossil fuel around the world is declining at a rapid rate. With petroleum being the main source of fuel in automotive industry and power generation, this lead to price hike globally with the fastest depletion rate. Experts forecast that complete depletion of petroleum in the world is expected to happen in between 50 to 80 years depending on the consumption.

Hollow-cone Spray of Viscous Liquid in High-pressure Gas Environment - Experimental Investigation for the Application of New Liquid Fuels to Gas-turbine -
Abstract Experimental investigations were performed on the hollow-cone spray of viscous liquids in high-pressure gas environment, aiming to obtain fundamental knowledge which was indispensable to survey the applicability of non-conventional new liquid fuels for the gas-turbine power-plant. Test liquid employed were water, diesel fuel, palm methyl ester (PME) and silicone-oil #10. The ambient ga...
متن کاملVisualization and Fundamental Analysis of Liquid Atomization by Fuel Slingers in Small Gas Turbine Engines
There are strong engineering motivations for wanting to place the design of fuel slingers and the understanding of their performance on an improved technical foundation. To date, however, there have been no studies conducted at a fundamental level of the basic physical processes involved in fuel slinger operation, or of the design and performance rules that are implied by these. We present resu...
متن کاملInvestigation of Different Validation Parameters of Micro Gas Turbine for Range Extender Electric Truck
Nowadays the demand for reducing pollutant emissions and fuel consumption have paved the way of developing more fuel-efficient power generation system for transportation sector. Micro gas turbine (MGT) system can be an alternative to internal combustion reciprocating engine due to its light-weight and less fuel consumption. In this paper, some major running and operating characteristics of MGT ...
متن کاملAnalysis of micro-recuperators in small-sized gas turbines –manufacturing potential of Iran
Heat recuperation is often used to improve the overall cycle efficiency of gas turbines. However, generally in small- scale gas turbines, it has a negative effect on turbine inlet temperature, pressure ratio and pressure drops, and thus decreases the overall cycle efficiency. In this paper, a thermodynamic model is performed to evaluate recovered heat as a function of heat exchanger effecti...
