Two recent applications for a heavy duty industrial gas turbine engine are discussed. The principal design requirements for both cases are compared and the design changes necessary to meet the requirements are illustrated. In the case of a main pipeline compressor driver, the need for high thermal efficiency over a wide range of loads is met by use of a regenerative cycle and by reprogramming the loading sequence. Long term step increases in engine capability were provided by incorporating a unique engine convertability feature. In the case of a process air compressor driver with exhaust heat recovery, the engine exhaust temperature and gas flow imposed constraints on engine capability during high ambient temperature operation and on engine operation at low ambient temperature conditions. The constraints were met by the use of steam injection to augment power at high ambient temperature conditions and by the use of variable inlet guide vanes to control exhaust flow at the low temperatures.

Operational flexibility, such as faster start-up time or faster load change rate, and higher thermal efficiency, have become more and more important for recent thermal power systems. The advanced humid air turbine (AHAT) system has been studied to improve operational flexibility and thermal efficiency of the gas turbine power generation system. Advanced humid air turbine is an original system which substitutes the water atomization cooling (WAC) system for the intercooler system of the HAT cycle. A 3 MW pilot plant, which is composed of a gas turbine, a humidification tower, a recuperator and a water recovery system, was built in 2006 to verify feasibility of the AHAT system.In this paper, ambient temperature effects, part-load characteristics and start-up characteristics of the AHAT system were studied both experimentally and analytically. Also, change in heat transfer characteristics of the recuperator of the 3 MW pilot plant was evaluated from Nov. 2006 to Feb. 2010. Ambient temperature effects and part-load characteristics of the 3 MW pilot plant were compared with heat and material balance calculation results. Then, these characteristics of the AHAT and the combined cycle (CC) systems were compared assuming they were composed of mid-sized industrial gas turbines.The measured cold start-up time of the 3 MW AHAT pilot plant was about 60 min, which was dominated by the heat capacities of the plant equipment. The gas turbine was operated a total of 34 times during this period (Nov. 2006 to Feb. 2010), but no interannual changes were observed in pressure drops, temperature effectiveness, and the overall heat transfer coefficient of the recuperator.

Theoretical and experimental study of compressor and gas turbine performance with wet compression has been carried out on S1A-02 industrial gas turbine to reveal its effects on gas turbines, compressors. Experiment results show that wet compression has significantly effects on performances of gas turbines and compressors; under situations of high ambient temperature, wet compression can be used to restore engine power output.

Abstract The study investigated the effects of dietary betaine on the growth performance of laying hens in a tropical climate during the starting period. In total, 192 laying hens strain Lohmann aged three weeks were assigned to four dietary treatments, each consisting of six replicates of eight birds. The dietary treatments included a basal diet (T0) and a basal diet supplemented with betaine at 6 mg/kg (T1), 12 mg/kg (T2), 18 mg/kg (T3). The treatments lasted for eight weeks. Temperature and relative humidity were measured with Hobo-U12, while the wet-bulb temperature was measured using Lutron HT-3027SD. The effect of betaine was not consistent where T3 decreased feed intake (FI) in week 2 but increased FI in weeks 4 and 5. Furthermore, T2 showed higher FI in weeks 6 and 7 than T0 (p<0.05). Accordingly, T2 and T3 led to lower weight gain in week 2, but they compensated with higher weight gain in week 4 when ambient temperature above 30°C occurred for 42 hours in a week. Overall, weight gain and body weight in week 8 was not affected by the treatment. It is concluded that the effect of betaine was more apparent when the birds were exposed to high ambient temperature.
