Abstract This study presents the experimental monitoring of heat transfer performance metal foams in transient state. Micro gas turbines require a compact recuperator with high effectiveness to achieve higher thermal efficiency. Porous media such as and ceramic are characterised by surface-to-volume ratio. They known increase potentially can be incorporated recuperators. Their structure is idea...

The creation of the systems models is very actual at present time, because it allow to simulate the work of some complex equipment without any additional spends. The given model of gas turbine is allowed to test and optimize the software for gas turbine automation systems, study station personal, like operators and engineers and will be useful for diagnostics and prediction tasks to analyze the...

The new semi-experimental method for simulation of the turbine flow meters rotation in the transitional flow has been developed. The method is based on the experimentally established exponential low of changing of dimensionless relative turbine gas meter rotation frequency and meter inertia time constant. For experimental evaluation of the meter time constant special facility has been developed...

This paper presents the development and experimental implementation of an online, fully nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC) for a gas turbine. The reduced-order, internal model used in the controller was developed from an original high-order, physics-based model using rigorous time scale separation arguments that may be extended to any gas turbine system. A control problem for a protot...

Monitoring of industrial gas turbines is of vital importance, since it gives valuable information for the customer about maintenance, performance, and process health. The performance of an industrial gas turbine degrades gradually due to factors such as environment air pollution, fuel content, and ageing to mention some of the degradation factors. The compressor in the gas turbine is especially...
