How to Calculate Gas Turbine Inlet Temperature?

Click For Summary
To calculate the gas turbine inlet temperature, users seek formulas or spreadsheets that utilize parameters like fuel flow and compressor discharge temperatures. A recommended resource is NASA's code CEA, which is available for free and provides accurate estimations. Additionally, a document from GE Power contains relevant data on firing temperatures, offering target values for reference. These resources can assist in determining the turbine inlet temperature effectively. Utilizing these tools can enhance understanding and accuracy in gas turbine performance assessments.

Does anyone have a spreadsheet with formulas or a set of formulas that one can use to determine the turbine inlet temperature of a gas turbine knowing measured parameters like fuel flow, compressor discharge tempuratures, LHV of fuel.

Your best bet is to do a Google search for NASA's code CEA. It's free and will get you pretty close.
 
There is some data in this document on firing temps. At least these are target values.

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
