Applications of Gas Turbine Plant:
1. Power Generation:
There are three types of gas turbine based on the power utilization and size, this is used to generate the power.
- Small Sized Gas Turbine.
- Middle Sized Gas Turbine.
- Large Sized Gas Turbine.
Small Sized Gas Turbine.
- This is a type of radial inward flow turbine, which has a centrifugal compressor in it. this type of turbine generates up to 2MW Power.
Middle Sized Gas Turbine.
- It has Axial-Flow compressors in it and axial flow turbines which are used to generate power up to 5MW to 50MW.
Large Sized Gas Turbine.
- This type of turbine works at high-pressure ratio and temperature, It produces power more than 50MW.
2. Aviation:
- These gas turbines are used at aircraft field to work under high temperature up to 1000degreeC.
3. Super Charger:
- The gas turbine is used to draw the compressed air, superchargers are used to fit in heavy-duty diesel engines and also in aviation gasoline engines.
4. Marine Engines:
- For Marine Engines gas turbines are used because water storage is not required.
5. Railway engines:
- Gas turbines are used to drive the air compressor in engines.
- This also used for high-speed racing cars.
Parameters of the Gas Turbine Cycle:
Compressor Efficiency:
- It is given as the ratio of At a specified range of pressure Work required for ideal air compression to Actual work utilized by the compressor.
Engine Efficiency:
- It is the ratio of actual work generated by the turbine to yielded ideal expansion condition.
Thermal efficiency:
- It is the ratio of net output work to the heat supplied.
Mechanical efficiency:
- This efficiency is the combination of engine, turbine, and compressor.
Pressure ratio:
- It is the ratio of Higher pressure to the lower pressure.
Work Ratio:
- It is the ratio of net output to the turbine work.
