Natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants account for a large share of the global
energy market. Although many alternative layouts of NGCC plants have already been …

Present paper deals with the study for performance evaluation of steam-injected gas turbine
(STIG) based power plant with inlet evaporative cooling. It investigates the combined effect …

A novel method for estimating the rotor blade life cycle of an industrial gas turbine (GT) by
the use of artificial Neural Network is proposed in this paper At the first step the blade life …

In power plant industry, it is always desirable that the performance of the plant should be as
high as possible with the lowest possible investment. In this regard exergoeconomic …

In present paper analysis of the effect of operating parameters on thermoeconomics of the
basic-gas-turbine with internal convection air film blade cooling has been reported …

Gas turbine blade cooling is critical to continuous reliable operation of gas turbines.
Literature suggests that air-film cooling is one of the most widely used blade cooling …

The common cogeneration application is steam injected gas turbine. By using cogeneration,
it can be obtained with the greatest benefit from fuel energy. In steam injected gas turbine …
