Thermodynamic Analysis of a Gas Turbine Power Plant Modeled with an Evaporative Cooler

Thermodynamic Analysis of a Gas Turbine Power Plant Modeled with an Evaporative Cooler

~ 88f42bcf3bb172ee7d964c703efe7439.200x200
In this paper the performance enhancement of gas turbine power plants by cooling the compressor intake air with an evaporative cooler is studied. This study investigated the effect of inlet air cooling system on the performance of an existing gas turbine power plant in Nigeria. The results show that for each 5oC decrease of inlet air temperature, net output power increases around 5-10% and the...
