Relationship of diffrent parameters of Gas turbine

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the operational parameters of two shaft gas turbines, specifically the Saturn 1100 and Centaur 4500 from Solar Inc. Key topics include the relationship between compressor discharge pressure and fuel flow, the calculation of Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC), the impact of Lower Heating Value (LHV) on SFC, and the method for calculating heat rate. Participants emphasize the necessity of understanding turbine design for accurate calculations and recommend consulting ASME PTC 22 for comprehensive testing guidelines.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of gas turbine mechanics and operation
  • Familiarity with Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) calculations
  • Knowledge of Lower Heating Value (LHV) implications
  • Access to ASME PTC 22 for gas turbine testing standards
NEXT STEPS
  • Research methods for calculating Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) in gas turbines
  • Study the effects of Lower Heating Value (LHV) on fuel efficiency
  • Learn how to calculate heat rate for gas turbines
  • Explore mechanical torque calculations for gas turbines
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, gas turbine operators, and energy analysts seeking to optimize the performance and efficiency of gas turbines, particularly those working with the Saturn 1100 and Centaur 4500 models.

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
