After briefly summarizing worldwide automotive gas turbine activity, the paper analyses the power plant requirements of a wide range of vehicle applications in order to formulate the design criteria for acceptable vehicle gas turbines. Ample data are available on the thermodynamic merits of various gas turbine cycles; however, the low cost of its piston engine competitor tends to eliminate all but the simplest cycles from vehicle gas turbine considerations. In order to improve the part load fuel economy, some complexity is inevitable, but this is limited to the addition of a glass ceramic regenerator in the 150 b.h.p. engine which is described in some detail. The alternative further complications necessary to achieve satisfactory vehicle response at various power/weight ratios are examined. Further improvement in engine performance will come by increasing the maximum cycle temperature. This can be achieved at lower cost by the extension of the use of ceramics. The paper is intended to stimulate the design application of the gas turbine engine.

There are numerous gas turbine applications in power generation and mechanical drive service where power drop during the periods of high ambient temperature has a very detrimental effect on the production of power or process throughput. Several geographical locations experience very high temperatures with low coincident relative humidities. In such cases media evaporative cooling can be effectively applied as a low cost power augmentation technique. Several misconceptions exist regarding their applicability to evaporative cooling, the most prevalent being that they can only be applied in extremely dry regions. This paper provides a detailed treatment of media evaporative cooling, discussing aspects that would be of value to an end user, including selection of climatic design points, constructional features of evaporative coolers, thermodynamic aspects of its effect on gas turbines, and approaches to improve reliability. It is hoped that this paper will be of value to plant designers, engineering companies, and operating companies that are considering the use of media evaporative cooling.

The National Energy Technology Laboratory-Regional University Alliance (NETL-RUA) has been developing extreme temperature coating systems that consist of a diffusion barrier coating (DBC), a low-cost wet slurry bond coat, a commercial yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thermal barrier coating (TBC), and an extreme temperature external coating that are deposited along the surface of nickel-based superalloys and single crystal metal substrates. Thermal cyclic testing of these multi-layer coatings was conducted in steam-containing environments at temperatures ranging between 1100–1550°C. This paper discusses the response of these materials during bench-scale testing, and their potential use in advanced H- and J-class land-based gas turbine engines.

As future land-based gas turbine engines are being designed to operate with inlet temperatures exceeding 1300°C (2370°F), efforts at NETL have been focused on developing advanced materials systems that are integrated with novel airfoil cooling architectures. Recent achievements in the areas of low cost diffusion bond coat systems applied to single- and poly-crystalline nickel-based superalloys, as well as development of thin nickel-based oxide dispersion strengthened layers are presented in this paper. Integration of these material systems with commercially cast, novel, pin-fin internal cooling airfoil arrays, tripod film cooling hole architectures, trailing edge cooling geometries, and near surface micro-channel concepts is also presented.

There are numerous power generation and mechanical drive gas turbine applications where the power drop caused by high ambient temperatures has a very detrimental effect on the production of power or process throughput. Media evaporative cooling and inlet fogging are common low cost power augmentation techniques applied to reduce these losses. Several misconceptions exist regarding the applicability of evaporative cooling to what are often called “high humidity” regions. There is a sizable evaporative cooling potential in most locations when climatic data is evaluated based on an analysis of coincident wet bulb and dry bulb data. This data is not readily available to plant users and designers. This paper provides a detailed treatment of available climatic data bases and presents actual climatic data from several world wide locations to show that considerable cooling potential actually exists even in high humidity regions. It is hoped that this paper will be of value to plant designers, engineering and operating companies that are considering the use of evaporative cooling for power augmentation.
