Experimental investigation on the off-design performance of a small-sized humid air turbine cycle

Hydrodynamic and heat and mass transfer performances of novel ceramic foam packing to humidification tower

“…First off-design experiment results are reported in Ref. [14]. More recently, an additional mHAT cycle test rig is built in Belgium, as reported in Ref.…”

Analytical model-based energy and exergy analysis of a gas microturbine at part-load operation

“…The pressure of air leaving the compressor is calculated from Eq. (11). The temperature T 2s is evaluated from the equation of isentropic expansion 1 À 2s…”

“…These equations were derived based on the manufacturers' data for five microturbines. Wei et al [11] investigated the off-design performance of a small-sized humid air turbine. Their numerical calculation model was based on digitized performance maps.…”

T100 mGT converted into mHAT for domestic applications: Economic analysis based on hourly demand

“…More recently, Wei and Zang experimentally investigated the off-design behaviour of a small-sized (25 kW e ) HAT. Test results at constant fuel flow rate and constant Turbine Inlet Temperature (TIT) indicated power output increases of 3 and 9.5 kW e respectively [14]. Recently, our research group was able to run with water injection and in a stable way an mHAT based on the Turbec T100 mGT [15].…”

“…Several authors have investigated the beneficial effect of converting an mGT into an mHAT, both from a numerical and an experimental perspective [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Parente et al carried out a thermodynamic assessment of the mHAT cycle, concluding that an existing mGT can be operated as an mHAT without major re-design [9].…”
