Special Case

Solutions are provided in nondimensional graphical form for the transient response of the outlet fluid temperatures of a counterflow gas turbine regenerator arising from a step input change of one (either one) of the inlet fluid temperatures. Both direct-transfer and periodic-flow regenerators are considered. The periodic-flow regenerator solutions are derived as a generalized result from a limited number of computer solutions for special cases. The direct-transfer regenerator solutions are derived as a generalized result from a limited number of special case solutions obtained from an electromechanical analog. This report is a continuation and extension of previous work covered in [1, 2, 3, and 4].

This is the second report of a program dealing with the transient response of heat exchangers [1a], [1b]. Analog solutions are used to supplement some analytical solutions so as to provide fairly complete coverage for the heat exchangers encountered in gas-turbine plants. Because a gas flow exists on at least one side of the heat-transfer surface, these exchangers are characterized by a large wall-capacitance effect. Where greater generality is possible, the extension to other heat exchangers is indicated.

New Generation

To produce a new generation of gas-pumping units and to upgrade the existing ones, the producer needs to update their heat exchange equipment. The aim of the update is to decrease its mass and sizes and to reduce its manufacturing and assembly costs. Heat-hydraulic calculations and experiments with models of the gas-turbine plant cassette-tube airheaters demonstrated that application of profiled U-tubes of a small hydraulic diameter to manufacture the matrices of such heat exchangers provides a high compactness and low metal consumption rate typical for plate heat exchangers. Simplicaty, reliability, elasticity and maintainability which are typical characteristics of tube heat exchangers are retaned.

Measurement and prediction of damage to gas turbine aerofoils is of interest to both gas turbine plant operators and suppliers. Metrology methods have been developed to produce accurate and statistically significant measurements of the extent of metal damage after a period of plant operation and to give confidence in results obtained, especially from relatively short term tests. These methods of assessing materials/component performance are based on the use of contact metrology prior to exposure and optically guided measurement around precision prepared cross-sections after exposure. These methods can be used to make several hundred measurements of component dimensions after which the statistical analysis of the data can be carried out for assessment of materials performance. Such measurement methods can be applied to other components in power generating systems, eg heat exchangers.

Exchange Matrix

The aim of this work is to determine the effect of the elements, which do not participate in heat transfer, on the mass of the regenerator of a gas turbine plant X, as well as to define the re-strictions that are imposed on the regenerator design based on the conditions of manufacturabil-ity, placement at the facility and transportability. This goal is achieved using an algorithm for finding rational geometric parameters of the heat exchange matrix with minimization of the re-generator mass by Newton's method. It has been determined that the mass of the heat exchange matrix can be 0.48–0.58 of the mass of the regenerator. This makes it necessary, even at the initial design stages, to take into account the effect of the above factors on the mass of the re-generator and the choice of the rational geometrical parameters. A significant result of the stud-ies performed is determination of the effect of dimensional restrictions and requirements for the shape of the regenerator to be increased in its mass. The values of the geometrical parameters of the heat exchange matrix were obtained, at which the mass of the regenerator takes on a mini-mum value. The significance of the work is that the obtained relationships between the mass of the regenerator and its geometry makes it possible to reduce the metal consumption of the regen-erator and the gas turbine plant, which allows designing the heat exchangers for power plants

Recovery Boiler

Increasing the energy efficiency of a gas turbine plant can be achieved by exhaust gas heat recovery in a recovery boiler. Establishing some correlations between the parameters of the boiler and of the turbine is done usually based on mathematical models. In this paper it is determined from experimental point of view, the effectiveness of a heat recovery boiler, which operates together with a gas turbine power plant. Starting from the scheme for framing the measurement devices, we have developed a measurement procedure of the experimental data. For experimental data processing is applied the effectiveness - number of transfer unit method. Based on these experimental data we establish correlations between the recovery boiler effectiveness and the gas turbine plant characteristics. The method can be adapted depending on the type of flow in the recovery boiler.
