Calculating reduction in static temperature and pressure

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the reduction in static temperature and pressure when air is induced into a gas turbine inlet, specifically using Mach number, gamma, and total pressure. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the relationship between static and dynamic pressures, referencing Bernoulli's equation as a key tool for these calculations. The analysis aims to determine the conditions under which condensation occurs in the gas turbine system. A T-s diagram is recommended for visualizing the thermodynamic properties involved.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Mach number and its implications in fluid dynamics
  • Familiarity with Bernoulli's equation for calculating pressure changes
  • Knowledge of thermodynamic properties, including static temperature and pressure
  • Ability to interpret T-s diagrams for thermodynamic analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the application of Bernoulli's equation in gas dynamics
  • Learn how to construct and interpret T-s diagrams for gas turbine analysis
  • Research the role of gamma in thermodynamics, particularly in relation to specific heat ratios
  • Investigate methods for calculating condensation conditions in gas turbine systems
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, thermodynamic analysts, and gas turbine designers seeking to optimize performance and understand the effects of air induction on static temperature and pressure.

When air is induced into a gas turbine inlet, the increase in velocity of the air will lead to an associated reduction in static temperatue and static pressure.
How do you calculate these, that is, reduced static temp and pressures, given only Mach number, gamma, and perhaps total pressure ?

The whole idea is to analyse whether condensation will take place or not. Kindly help.
Thanks.

It depends on the pressure to which the air is expanded. Plot the things on a T-s diagram, & properties can be calculated
 
Not sure what you mean by gamma, but last I checked can't isn't total pressure the sum of static and dynamic. Since you have the speed of the air you should be able to determine the dynamic pressure. Investigate bernoulis equation
