Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 2
• There are two main types of power cycles;
• 1. Shaft power cycles : Marine and Land based power plants.
• 2. Aircraft propulsion cycles: Performance depends upon forward speed & altitude.
Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 4
Ideal Cycles
The analysis is based on the :
• perfection of individual components
• w , depend upon r and Tmax
w : Specific power output
: Cycle efficiency
r : Pressure ratio Tmax : Max. cycle Temperature
Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 5
Ideal Cycles - Assumptions
a) Compression and expansion processes are isentropic
b) The change of Kinetic Energy of the working fluid
between the inlet and outlet of each component is
negligible.
Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 6
Ideal Cycles - Assumptions
c) No pressure losses in the inlet ducting, combustion chambers, heat exchangers, intercoolers, exhaust ducting and ducts connecting the components.
d) The composition of the working fluid does not change and it is a prefect gas with constant specific heats
Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 7
Ideal Cycles - Assumptions :
e) The mass flow rate of gas is constant
f) Heat transfer in the Heat Exchanger is complete; so in conjunction with (d)+(e), temperature rise on the cold side is equal to the temperature drop on the hot side.
• (d,e) indicates that the combustion chamber is such
that it is as if heated by an external heat source.

SIMPLE Gas Turbine CYCLE• The ideal cycle for a simple Gas Turbine is the BRAYTON (or JOULE)
cycle.

Steady flow energy equation:
q = hII - hI + 1/2 ( vII2 - vI
2) + w
where : q = heat transfer per unit mass flow.
w = work per unit mass flow.
w12 = - (h2 - h1) = - cp (T2 – T1)
q23 = (h3 - h2) = cp (T3 - T2)
w34 = (h3 - h4) = cp (T3 - T4)

The specific work output w , depends upon the size of the plant for a given power.
It is found to be a function of not only pressure ratio, but also of maximum cycle temperature T3. Thus;
w = cp (T3-T4) - cp (T2-T1)can be expressed as;
( 2.2 )
The specific work output is a function of " t " (T3/T1) and "rp" ;
w = w (t, rp).

T3 : Maximum Cycle Temperature,
imposed by the metallurgical limit.
t = T3/T1 = 3.5 -4 for long life industrial plants,
t = 5-5.5 for aircraft engines with cooled turbine blades.
From the T-S diagram, it is clear that when
rp= 1 or rp = (T3/T1) w = 0
Thus in between there is a maximum (or minimum) value for w
Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 17
SIMPLE Gas Turbine CYCLE
For any given value of "t" (T3/T1), the optimum value of rp for maximum specific work output can be calculated by differentiating eqn. 2.2 wrt. rp ( and equating to zero.The result is;

Specific work output does not change with HE thus is the same as the simple cycle.To obtain an appreciable improvement in by HE in ideal cycles.a) a value of rp < ropt
then work output is maximum.b) It is not necessary to use a higher cycle pressure ratio as Tmax of the cycle is increased.
(a) is true for actual cycles whereas (b) requires modification

Reheat Cycle
Fig. 2.5 Reheat cycle
• A substantial increase in specific work output can be obtainedby splitting the expansion and reheating the gas between low-pressure and high-pressure turbines.
Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 24
Reheat Cycle
• Since the vertical distance between any pair of constant pressure lines increase with the increasing entropy
• (T3 - T4) + (T5 - T6) > (T3 - T4 )• thus : wreheat > wsimple
• w34 + w56 = Cp (T3 - T4) + Cp (T5 - T6)
• = Cp (T3 - T4) + Cp (T3 - T6)
• wt = Cp T3 (1-T4/ T3) + Cp T3 (1-T6/T5)

Cycle with Reheat & Heat Exchange• The reduction in efficiency due to reheat can be overcomed by adding heat
exchanger. • The high exhaust gas temperature is now fully utilized in the HE and the
increase in work output is no longer offset by the increase in heat supplied.

ACTUAL CYCLES
• The performance of real cycles differ from that of ideal
cycles for the following reasons :
a) Change in Kinetic Energy between inlet and outlet of each
component can not necessarily be ignored.• b) Compression and expansion are actually irreversible and
therefore involves an increase in entropy• c) Fluid friction causes pressure losses in components and
associated ducts.• d) HE can not be ideal, terminal temperature difference is
inevitable
Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 37
ACTUAL CYCLES
• e) Slightly more work than that required for the compression process will be necessary to overcome bearing and windage friction in the transmission between compressor and turbine and to drive ancillary components such as fuel and oil pumps. (mech)
• f) Cp and changes throughout the cycle.
Cp = f(T) h= f(T) and chemical composition.
• g) Combustion is not complete (comb)
Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 38
• The efficiency of any machine (which absorbs or produces work), is normally expressed in terms of the ratio of actual to ideal work transfers
• For a compressor;
• For a perfect gas;
h = Cp T ,
• This relation is sufficiently accurate for real gasses under conditions encountered in a GT if a mean Cp over the relevant range of temperature is used

Compressor and Turbine Efficiencies
• Now consider an axial flow compressor consisting of a number of successive stages.
• If the blade design is similar in successive blade rows it is reasonable to assume that the isentropic efficiency of a single stage s remains the same through the compressor.
• Then the overall temperature rise;
Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 43
Compressor and Turbine Efficiencies• The difference between c and s will increase with the number of stages i.e. with the increase of pressure ratio.
• A physical explanation is that the increase in temperature due to friction in one stage results in more work being required in the next stage.
• A similar argument can be
used to show that for a turbine
t > st .

HEAT EXCHANGER EFFECTIVENESS
• Turbine exhaust gasses reject heat at the rate of:
mt Cp46 (T04-T06)
• Compressor delivery receives heat at a rate of:
mc Cp25 (T05-T02)
• If mc = mt
Then Cp46 (T04-T06) = Cp25 (T05-T02)
Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 52
HEAT EXCHANGER EFFECTIVENESS
• One possible measure of performance is the ratio of the actual energy received by the cold air to the maximum possible value. Thus;
• HE effectiveness = Cp25 (T05-T02) / Cp24 (T04-T02)
• over the mean temperature ranges if Cp25 = Cp24
HE effectiveness = ( T05-T02) /(T04-T02)
• Most generally :
HE effectiveness = mcCp25( T05-T02) / mtCp24(T04-T02)
Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 53
MECHANICAL LOSSES
• In all Gas Turbines, the power necessary to drive the compressor is direct,
so any loss that occurs is due to bearing friction and windage ;• this amounts to about 1 %
• If the transmission efficiency is m, then
• wct = Cp12 (T02-T01)/m ( m = 99 % )
• Any power used to drive auxillary components
such as fuel and oil pumps, gearing losses are ussually accounted for by subtracting from the net output.

Fuel/Air Ratio, Combustion Efficiency and Cycle Efficiency
• Combustion problem in GT is to calculate the Fuel/Air (F/A) ratio = "f" required to transform unit mass of air at T02 and f kg of fuel at the fuel temperature Tf to ( 1 + f ) kg of products at T03 .
• Since the process is adiabatic, the energy equation is simply;

1. Simple GT Cycle
Fig. 2.12 Cycle efficiency and specific output of simple gas turbine
With component losses : h (T03, rp) for each cycle max. temperature T03, h has a peak value at a paticular rp.
Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 62
1. Simple GT Cycle
• Optimum press ratio for maximum efficiency differs from that for maximum specific work output.
• But (rp) is quite flat around the peak so. the lowest rp which will give an accepted performance is chosen.
• As T03 increases higher rp is advantageous
• As T03 increases η increases. Therefore component losses compared to net work output gets less important.
• As T03 increases ws increases appreciably. This is important for aircaft GT since SIZE of GT is smaller for a given power.
• *Increasing Ta ; wnet and efficiency both decreases.
Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 64

Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 67
3.Heat Exchange Cycle with Reheat or Intercooling
• With HE, addition of REHEAT improves the specific work output considerably without loss of efficiency.
• The gain in efficiency due to Reheat obtained with the ideal cycle is not realized in practice
• * partly because of the additional pressure loss in the reheat chamber and the inefficiency of the expansion process,
• * but primarily because the effectiveness of the HE quite low and the additional energy in the exhaust gas is not wholly recovered.
Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 68
3.Heat Exchange Cycle with Reheat or Intercooling
• Reheat has not been widely used in practice because the additional "CC" and the associated control problems
• Can off-set the advantage gained from the decrease in size of the main components consequent upon the increase in specific output.
• Intercooling, although increases specific output and cycle efficiency; intercoolers tend to be bulky and if they require cooling water, the self contained nature of the GT is lost.
• In practice most GT utilize either a higher pressure ratio simple cycle or a low pressure ratio HE cycle.
• The other additions to the cycles mentioned do not nominally show sufficient advantage to offset the increased complexity and capital cost.
Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 69
Cogas Cycles and Cogeneration Schemes
• In the exhaust gases from a GT there is still an ample amount of energy. This energy could be utlized.
• The only limitation is the exhaust temperature (Stack Temp.) should not be reduced much below 170oC to avoid dewpoint corrosion problems due to the sulphur content of the fuel.
• The exhaust heat could be used in various ways.
• It could be wholly, used to produce steam in a waste heat boiler for a steam turbine to angment the shaft power produced, it is called as COGAS-"Combined Gas/Steam Cycle Power, "plant
Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 70
Cogas Cycles and Cogeneration Schemes
• Alternatively the exhaust heat maybe used to produce hot water or steam for same chemical process, for district or factory heating, for a distillation plant,
(for and absorption refrigerator in water chilling or air conditioning plant).
The shaft power there will normally be used to produce electricity
• This system is refered to as a
COGENERATION or TOTAL ENERGY PLANT.

• For any given T03 of GT rc increases T04 (exhaust) decreases. Thus the heat available to the steam cycle decreases.

Cogas Cycles• A reduction in T4;
Psteam decrease that can be used for steam cycle.
• In the combined plant, therefore, selection of a higher compressor pressure ratio to improve the gas turbine efficiency may lead to a fall in steam cycle efficiency and no net gain in overall thermal efficiency.
• In practice, however, a higher pressure ratio is accompanied by a higher turbine inlet temperature and the most advanced combined cycles use high pressure ratio gas turbines.
Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 74
Cogas Cycles
• Most COGAS plants are produced by adding a suitable exhaust heated Rankine Cycle conditions which matches best to GasTurbine.
• COGAS plants for large base load generating stations overall is not the ultimate citerion.
• The cost of electricity sold is ultimate and this also depends on the capital cost of the plant.
• Due to the abundancy of choices it is very difficult to optimize these cycles. These have efficiencies 43-50 %

Cogeneration Plant

Chapter2 Shaft Power Cycles 76
Cogeneration Plant
• When only power required,then waste heat boiler is completely bypassed.
• When max. heat/power ratio is required the HE is bypassed and supplemantary fuel is burnt in the boiler.
• The overall efficiency may be defined as
= [( net work + useful heat output ) / unit air mass flow ] / [ f.Qnet,p ]
• Useful heat output per unit air mass flow isCp [ Tin - 443 ]
• For high values of Q/HP rc has little effect on
