In this article we will discuss about the various methods used for improving the thermal efficiency of a simple gas turbine power plant. The efficiency of a simple gas turbine power plant can be improved by employing regenerator, intercooler and re-heater. Regenerator is usually of shell and tube construction. The exhaust gases are made to flow inside the nest of [...]

In this article we will discuss about the closed cycle gas turbine power plants and its advantages. In open cycle gas turbine power plant, the fuel is mixed with air in the combustion chamber and the combustion gases are expanded in the gas turbine, which causes erosion and corrosion of turbine blades and, therefore, it becomes essential to use fuel [...]
