AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on designing a heat recovery system for a gas turbine power station with a peak demand of 190 MW and a turbine-generator efficiency of 95%. Participants are tasked with selecting system components, determining maximum operating temperatures, and analyzing thermal efficiency under various compression ratios. There is a focus on sizing heat exchangers, particularly a compact-cross flow type for heat recovery, while considering the dew point temperature of exhaust gases. The conversation also emphasizes the importance of exergy analysis alongside efficiency in determining optimal operating conditions.

Problem Statement​

A GT power station has a peak demand on electrical power of 190 MW. The Turbine-Generator conversion efficiency is 95 percent. A heat recovery Heat Exchanger is to be installed to recover some of the heat from the exhaust gases, before they are purged to the atmosphere. The fuel used is Natural Gas with a heating value of about 47 MJ/kg. Be aware that 40% excess air is to be introduced to the combustion chamber. Moreover, the stoichiometric Air/Fuel ratio (on mass basis) for this fuel is about 17.

TASKS:
1. Decide the components that you want to include in your system; (just simple cycle or with regeneration; justify your selection based on quantitative results).
2. Decide the maximum operating temperature; your judgment should be justified.
3. Investigate the performance (thermal efficiency of the system under different compression ratios and the fuel flow rate) under different compression ratio conditions.
4. Make necessary sizing analysis for the regenerator (in case you decided to include a regenerator). Choose a counter flow heat exchanger type for the regenerator.
5. Make necessary sizing analysis for the Heat recovery heat exchanger; choose it to be of the compact-cross flow type heat exchanger with fins on the tubes from the outer side (the hot side of the hot exhaust gases). This Heat Recovery Heat Exchanger is to be installed at the base of the exhaust chimney.

6. Determine the destructed Exergy of the system at different compression ratio conditions.

7. Your final selection of the optimum operating conditions should not only be based on efficiency, but exergy analysis, as well.

8. The final sizing of the designed Heat Exchangers should be based on the operating conditions of the optimum operation selected in item 7 above.

NOTES:
• for simplicity, you can start your design analysis using the cold air standard assumption for the gas side, but when you make the final design the effect of varying temperatures on the specific heats should be taken into consideration.
• The limit on the maximum amount of heat recovery (i.e. the minimum exhaust gas temperature after the Heat Recovery Heat Exchanger) should take the dew point temperature of the steam in the exhaust gases into consideration.

Thanks for the URL and for your attempt to help me out. I visited the link but can find slideshows and calculations i hope if someone can help me solve this problem or send me a URL of a forum where i can benifit from thanks a lot all.
 
Ok saying that the

efficiency = W(net) / Q

Q = W(net) / Efficiency

Q = 190/0.95 = 200 MW


or saying that

efficiency = output/input

input = output / efficency

Input = 190 / 0.95 =200 MW

Ok how do i proceed then ?

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
