Trend of world’s energy consumption (Data from US Department of Energy)
1 Quadrillion = 1015, 1 BTU = 1.055x103 J
World’s energy requirement can largely be classified into Electric power, transportation energy
1 Quadrillion BTU = 45M Tons Coal or 1T ft3 Natural Gas or 170M Barrels of crude oil1 Barrel crude oil = 42 gallon = 6.1 GJ of energy

How does this story relate with Gas Turbines Combustion systems?
Types of engines- Power generation: Gas Turbines, Steam Turbines, Nuclear, Hydro-Transportation : diesel, gasoline, aircraft engines (based on gas turbine cycles)
“Strictly speaking, energy is not “consumed”, but rather is converted into different forms.”
Various types of engines are used to achieve this objective.
Steam turbines are similar to gas turbines but they have different principles of operation. Nuclear power plants use nuclear energy to make steam which rotates the steam turbines.

Our units are used for power generation, gas compression, and mechanical drive applications
-Power generation is the production of electrical energy whether for stand-by or base load power applications.
- Gas compression applications include gathering (at the well head), transmission (pipeline), re-injection (storage), and pressure boost (compression).
- Mechanical drive applications are units sold as prime-movers for non-Solar packaged driven equipment, whether generators, compressors, or pumps

What makes Gas Turbines attractive for Industrial prime movers?Advantages• Very high power-to-weight ratio, compared to reciprocating engines• Smaller than most reciprocating engines of the same power rating• Fewer moving parts than reciprocating engines• Low operating pressures• High operation speeds• Low lubricating oil cost and consumption• High reliability• Goes for 30-50K hours before first overhaul. Usually runs for 100K-300K hours (10+ years) life cycle
Disadvantages• Cost is much greater than for a similar-sized reciprocating engine since the material must be stronger and more heat resistant. Machining operations are more complex• Usually less efficient than reciprocating engines, especially at idle• Delayed response to changes in power settingsThese make GT less suitable for road transport and helicopters

Some Basics
![Page 30: Coal vs gas Power generation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f2d3be1a28aba3408b458d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Gas Turbine componentsInlet system Collects and directs air into the gas turbine. Often, an air cleaner and silencer are part of the inlet system. It is designated for a minimum pressure drop while maximizing clean airflow into the gas turbine.
Compressor Provides compression, and, thus, increases the air density for the combustion process. The higher the compression ratio, the higher the total gas turbine efficiency . Low compressor efficiencies result in high compressor discharge temperatures, therefore, lower gas turbine output power.
Combustor Adds heat energy to the airflow. The output power of the gas turbine is directly proportional to the combustor firing temperature; i.e., the combustor is designed to increase the air temperature up to the material limits of the gas turbine while maintaining a reasonable pressure drop.
![Page 31: Coal vs gas Power generation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/58f2d3be1a28aba3408b458d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Gas Producer Turbine Expands the air and absorbs just enough energy from the flow to drive the compressor. The higher the gas producer discharge temperature and pressure, the more energy is available to drive the power turbine, therefore, creating shaft work.
Power Turbine Converts the remaining flow energy from the gas producer into useful shaft output work. The higher the temperature difference across the power turbine, the more shaft output power is available.
Exhaust System Directs exhaust flow away from the gas turbine inlet. Often a silencer is part of the exhaust system. Similar to the inlet system, the exhaust system is designed for minimum pressure losses.

What drives Research and Development work in Gas Turbines?
• In 1950’s component efficiencies• In 1990’s emissions• In 21st century it is emissions and alternative fuels• Nature of application and location are always the factors
