Specific Heat Ratio

The specific heat ratio γ, was measured in low-pressure superheated steam, using a modified form of the free expansion experiment performed originally by Clement and Desormes. Values for γ are compared to those obtained from velocity of sound experiments, and to those calculated from the equations used in the ASME Steam Tables of 1967.

High Pressures And Temperatures

Measurements were made of the velocity of sound in liquid argon in the temperature range 86–146 °K and at pressures up to 65 atm. The velocity versus pressure isotherms are steeper and more curved at the higher temperatures. At any one pressure, the velocity is a smoothly decreasing function of temperature. Analysis of the results using existing density data showed that the specific heat ratio, γ, decreases with pressure and increases with temperature in this range. The coefficient in Rao's relation was found to increase with temperature at constant pressure, while that in the relation due to Carnevale and Litovitz exhibited no definite trend with temperature or pressure.

The Impact

The practical requirements of the project the nozzle entrance temperature is high, the gas specific heat ratio varies greatly, so it must consider the specific heat ratio change impact on two-dimensional nozzle contour design. Divided into consideration specific heat ratio change and not consider two kinds of scheme design of 1.4Ma nozzle profile and build the model using the arc line method, numerical simulation is carried out through the CFD software Fluent, analysis of two kinds of design scheme comparison. The results show that, in the supersonic nozzle at low Maher numbers, two schemes of nozzle design profile similarity, parameters change little flow tube, export the Maher number and the flow quality can meet the design requirements, proof of specific heat ratio has little effect on the design results in the design of the nozzle under the condition of low Maher number.

Gas Turbine Cycle

One of the concepts proposed for capture of CO2 in power production from gaseous fossil fuels is the semi-closed O2/CO2 gas turbine cycle. The semi-closed O2/CO2 gas turbine cycle has a near to stoichiometric combustion with oxygen, producing CO2 and water vapor as the combustion products. The water vapor is condensed and removed from the process, the remaining gas, primarily CO2, is mainly recycled to keep turbine inlet temperature at a permissible level. A model for predicting transient behavior of the semi-closed O2/CO2 gas turbine cycle is presented. The model is implemented in the simulation tool gPROMS (Process System Enterprise Ltd.), and simulations are performed to investigate two different issues. The first issue is to see how different cycle performance variables interact during transient behavior; the second is to investigate how cycle calculations are affected when including the gas constant and the specific heat ratio in compressor characteristics. The simulations show that the near to stoichiometric combustion and the working fluid recycle introduce a high interaction between the different cycle components and variables. This makes it very difficult to analytically predict the cycle performance during a transient event, i.e. simulations are necessary. It is also found that, except for the shaft speed calculation, the introduction of gas constant and specific heat ratio dependence on the compressor performance map will have only a minor influence on the process performance.

External Work

In October, 1898, the author commenced experiments, having for their object the determination of the specific heat of superheated steam. At first an attempt was made to obtain this end by measuring the rise in temperature produced in a known quantity of steam by supplying a definite amount of heat in the form of electrical energy, but the experimental difficulties experienced in satisfactorily preventing radiation, in maintaining the rate of flow of steam uniform and in securing a steam supply sufficiently homogeneous and constant as to temperature, proved so great that the attempt on these lines was given up for a time, but returned to later. Then another method was adopted, that of allowing dry saturated steam to expand without doing external work, and observing the resulting change in temperature. This method had been used in preliminary experiments on this subject by Professor Ewing and Mr. Dunkerley, who found that the specific heat of superheated steam at atmospheric pressure, as deduced by this method from Regnault’s values of the "total heat,” was not a constant, as had been previously supposed, but increased with temperature.
