This work presents an exergy analysis and performance assessment of three recuperative thermodynamic cycles for gas turbine applications. The first configuration is the conventional recuperative (CR) cycle in which a heat exchanger is placed after the power turbine (PT). In the second configuration, referred as alternative recuperative (AR) cycle, a heat exchanger is placed between the high pressure and the PT, while in the third configuration, referred as staged heat recovery (SHR) cycle, two heat exchangers are employed, the primary one between the high and PTs and the secondary at the exhaust, downstream the PT. The first part of this work is focused on a detailed exergetic analysis on conceptual gas turbine cycles for a wide range of heat exchanger performance parameters. The second part focuses on the implementation of recuperative cycles in aero engines, focused on the MTU-developed intercooled recuperative aero (IRA) engine concept, which is based on a conventional recuperation approach. Exergy analysis is applied on specifically developed IRA engine derivatives using both alternative and SHR recuperation concepts to quantify energy exploitation and exergy destruction per cycle and component, showing the amount of exergy that is left unexploited, which should be targeted in future optimization actions.

Actual Geometry

The purpose of this paper is to present a numerical analysis carried out for the performance evaluation of the axial exhaust diffuser of a LP steam turbine. A set of measured data in an actual real scale steam turbine is available for direct comparison. The three dimensional exhaust flow in a LP steam turbine provided with a 48″ LSB is numerically investigated in different real working conditions by means of 3D CFD analysis. A detailed 3D model of the actual geometry is used in order to catch the highly 3D features of the flow field, avoiding the use of numerical periodicity conditions. Boundary conditions are derived both from experimental data and from specific validated 3D simulations of the main flow of the entire LP turbine section from front stages up to the LSN. The comparison with measured data allows to validate the performed CFD simulations and to provide a reliable complete performance curve of the exhaust diffuser geometry coupled with the 48″ LSB design. An important outcome of the work consists also in a generalized method for accurate performance evaluation of axial diffusers.

And Performance

The goal of this study is to provide pump users a simple means to predict a pump's performance change due to changing fluid viscosity. During the initial investigation, it has been demonstrated that pump performance can be represented in terms of the head coefficient, flow coefficient, and rotational Reynolds number with the head coefficient data for all viscosities falling on the same curve when presented as a function of ф*Rew−a. Further evaluation of the pump using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for wider range of viscosities demonstrated that the value of a (Morrison number) changes as the rotational Reynolds number increases. There is a sharp change in Morrison number in the range of 104<Rew<3*104 indicating a possible flow regime change between laminar and turbulent flow. The experimental data from previously published literature were utilized to determine the variation in the Morrison number as the function of rotational Reynolds number and specific speed. The Morrison number obtained from the CFD study was utilized to predict the head performance for the pump with known design parameters and performance from published literature. The results agree well with experimental data. The method presented in this paper can be used to establish a procedure to predict any pump's performance for different viscosities; however, more data are required to completely build the Morrison number plot.

Abstract The aircraft industry, along with other industries, is considered responsible these days regarding environmental issues. Therefore, the performance evaluation of aircraft propulsion systems should be conducted with respect to environmental and ecological considerations. The current paper aims to present the ecological coefficient of performance calculation methodology for aircraft propulsion systems. The ecological coefficient performance is a widely-preferred performance indicator of numerous energy conversion systems. On the basis of thermodynamic laws, the methodology used to determine the ecological coefficient of performance for an aircraft propulsion system is parametrically explained and illustrated in this paper for the first time. For a better understanding, to begin with, the exergy analysis of a turbojet engine is described in detail. Following this, the outputs of the analysis are employed to define the ecological coefficient of performance for a turbojet engine. At the end of the study, the ecological coefficient of performance is evaluated parametrically and discussed depending on selected engine design parameters and performance measures. The author asserts the ecological coefficient of performance to be a beneficial indicator for researchers interested in aircraft propulsion system design and related topics.

And Performance

The optimum control and performance evaluation of solar collectors are analyzed from the standpoint of exergy. The pressure drop inside the collector is introduced to the analysis using the Hottel-Whillier model. By treating the friction process as exergy loss, the optimum operating conditions are presented in a simple statement. The maximum capability of collectors is determined and expressed by a relationship among the collector parameters and the environment in which they operates.
