Relationship of diffrent parameters of Gas turbine

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the relationships between various parameters of gas turbines, specifically the Saturn 1100 and Centaur 4500 models. Key inquiries include the relationship between compressor discharge pressure and fuel flow, methods for calculating specific fuel consumption (SFC) and heat rate, and the impact of lower heating value (LHV) on SFC. Participants emphasize the necessity of detailed design information for accurate calculations and suggest that performance data should be sourced from manufacturers. Additionally, there are requests for links to resources like ASME PTC 22 for further guidance on gas turbine testing and calculations.

Hi friends;
I have Saturn 1100 and centaur 4500 two shaft gas turbines from solar INc. I want to know that what relationship of following parameters
1. Compressor discharge pressure and fuel flow
2. How i calculate the SFC?
3. What effect of LHV on SFC?
4. How i calculate the Heat rate?
If anyone have a link which contains the general twoshaft gas turbine theory and examples please send me i am very thankful.
Best regards

You can't calculate those parameters accurately unless you know a lot of information about the design of the turbines. Information about the performance and SFC should be available from the manfacturers. http://mysolar.cat.com/
 
Get hold of a copy of ASME PTC 22 tells you all you need to know about testing gas turbines.
 
Hi Jobreg
Can u send ne a link where from i download ASME PTC22 free.
Thanks
Best regards
 
Hi friends;
Please send me a link where from i can download ASME PTC 22 free
secondly anyone know how to calculate SFC and HR of gas turbine and as well as WI
Thanking U i will remain

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...
