This study presents the thermodynamic modeling of the Ir-Mo and Ir-W systems by means of the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) approach supported with the first-principles calculations. A critical evaluation of the phase equilibria and the thermodynamic property data in literature was conducted for both systems. Due to the lack of experimental data, the first-principles calculations were applied to obtain the enthalpies of the solid and intermetallic phases. The thermodynamic parameters were assessed using the PARROT module of Thermo-Calc. A set of self-consistent parameters for the Ir-Mo and Ir-W systems was obtained after the optimization. Satisfactory agreement between the calculated results and the experimental data, including phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties was achieved.

Advanced gas turbine cycles with water or steam addition (i.e., wet cycles) have attracted much interest in recent years and some commercial systems are available. Because water is added into different points of a gas turbine depending on the methods of water addition, the working fluid of gas turbine has been changed to air-water (humid air) mixture at elevated pressure. Thus, the thermodynamic properties of working fluid are different as conventional gas turbines. Accurate calculation models for thermodynamic properties of air-water mixture are of importance for process simulation, and traceable performance test of turbomachinery and heat exchangers in the wet cycle systems. However, the impacts of thermodynamic properties on the simulation of systems and their components have been overlooked. This paper is to present our study and provide a comprehensive comparison of exiting thermodynamic models of air-water mixtures. Different models including ours have been used to calculate some components including compressor, humidification tower, heat exchanger etc. in wet cycles for investigating the impacts of thermodynamic properties on the system performance. It reveals that a careful selection of thermodynamic property model is crucial for the design of cycles. This paper will provide a useful tool for predicting the performance of the system and design of the wet cycle components and systems.

Complete analysis of thermodynamic systems generally requires knowledge of the property values of substances at different states. Performing such analysis on the computer is facilitated if the equations of state for the substances are available in relatively simple analytic forms. This article presents a procedure for formulation for the thermodynamic properties of pure substances using two primary sets of data, namely the pvT data and the specific heat data such as the constant-pressure specific heat, cp, as a function of pressure and temperature. By developing a correlation of the pvT data in the virial form of equation of state, an appropriate corresponding correlation can be determined for the specific heat of the substance on the basis of the laws of thermodynamics. The resulting equations of state take on remarkably simple analytic forms that give accurate predictions over the range of input data employed.

Reliable thermodynamic property data for air-water vapor mixtures are lacking for the design of evaporative gas turbine cycles (EvGT). Due to high working pressures and temperatures of gas turbines, considerable error would occur when applying the ideal models instead of the real gas mixture models. This paper presents an extensive literature study regarding models for computing thermodynamic property data of gas mixtures. The Hyland and Wexler model is found to be the best available despite the limited temperature range. However, experimental data are needed to verify the extrapolation. Furthermore, this paper evaluates the impact of thermodynamic properties of air-water vapor mixtures on the design of EvGT cycles. A suggested EvGT configuration, with results based on ideal gas mixture model and steam tables, is selected as a reference. The real properties of the working fluid mixture are recalculated by the means of the Hyland and Wexler model and applied in the cycle calculation. The results based on real data are compared to those based on ideal. The results show that the real gas model predicts higher saturation humidity at a given temperature. The higher volatility of water improves the humidification performance. In the case studied here, the flue gas temperature is lowered by about 3°C and the cycle efficiency is improved only marginally. The real gas model predicts higher heat duty for superheating of moist air by about 10 percent, or 2 MW. Finally, it can be concluded that thermodynamic property data mainly affect component sizing, especially the humid air superheater and to some extent the boiler.
