Abstract:

Increasing concerns about energy and emissions from fuel consumption in gas turbines has attracted many researchers to protect the environment and reduce pollutants in the world. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the increasing efficiency of three-stroke gas turbine operation based on the technical analysis of the operation of three-axis gas turbine cycles with non-design conditions in partial loads, taking into account environmental criteria and sustainable development. Three-axial gas turbine has been studied and thermodynamic modeling and the database has been formed and completed for all constant and variable parameters. Then, the objective function (increased efficiency and gas turbine power) is defined and the objective function is optimized by connecting the databases and using the genetic algorithm. After thermodynamic modeling for different values of the position of the input guide blades and the position of the three-stroke gas turbine drainage positions, the efficiency of the gas turbine and the efficiency of genetic algorithm increased. Based on the results, NOx emissions were compared to the various partial gas loads of the gas turbine. It was observed that with the help of this optimization, NOx emissions were reduced. In this sense, using this optimization has been instrumental in environmental protection. The application of this research in the country's power industry and gas turbine power plants is used to increase the efficiency and power and hence reduce air pollution.

Multidiscipinary Optimization For Gas Turbines Design

State-of-the-art aeronautic Low Pressure gas Turbines (LPTs) are already characterized by high quality standards, thus they offer very narrow margins of improvement. Typical design process starts with a Concept Design (CD) phase, defined using mean-line 1D and other loworder tools, and evolves through a Preliminary Design (PD) phase, which allows the geometric definition in details. In this fra...

Gas Sensors for Monitoring Air Pollution

The air pollution caused by exhaust gases from automobiles has become a critical issue. In some regions, fossil fuel combustion is a problem as well. The principal gases that cause air pollution from automobiles are nitrogen oxides, NOx (NO and NO2), and carbon monoxide (CO). Because NOx gases with sulfur oxides (SOx) emitted from coal fired plants cause acid rain and global warming and produce...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Measurements and Modeling of Flue Height Influence on Air Pollution Emissions and Thermal Efficiency of Natural Draught Gas Fired Boilers

This paper presents and analyses results from experimental and CFD work undertaken on a 24 kW domestic natural-draught gas fired boiler. The effect of chimney height on boiler flue gases is being considered to address the need for increasing concern over environmental safety as well as saving of energy. A multi-component analysis computer (DELTA 2000 CD) is used to analyze the flue gases. 3D nu...

Assessing the health benefits of air pollution reduction for children.

Benefit-cost analyses of environmental regulations are increasingly mandated in the United States. Evaluations of criteria air pollutants have focused on benefits and costs associated with adverse health effects. Children are significantly affected by the health benefits of improved air quality, yet key environmental health policy analyses have not previously focused specifically on children's ...
