A comparison of the specific fuel consumption was made with and without an internal mixer installed in a low bypass ratio, confluent flow turbofan engine. Tests were conducted at several Mach numbers and altitudes for core to fan stream total temperature ratios of 2.0 and 2.5 and mixing lengths of L/D = 0.95 and 1.74. For these test conditions, the specific fuel consumption improvement varied from 2.5 to 4.0 percent.


In this study, a process of inlet air cooling was implemented in the intake of a land-based gas turbine engine for electricity generation. The motivation behind the study is to improve the performance of the gas turbine engine in hot climate conditions,which causes a significant decrease in the output power and an increase in specific fuel consumption. For inlet air cooling, a refrigeration cycle was attached to the turbo-shaft gas turbine engine,and power required by the refrigeration is extracted from the mechanical engine power output of the gas turbine. A 43 MWclass gas turbine engine which is similar totheGeneral Electric LM6000 engine was modeled in this study. Considering an average coefficient of performance of 3.0 for a refrigeration system, the inlet cooling provided (by supplying cooled inlet air at 15oC) a 22.21% net power increase anda5.2% power specific fuel consumption improvement at 55oCambient conditions.
