Efficiency of a standard gas-turbine power generation cycle running on different fuels
Courtesy of Inderscience Publishers
This paper presents a study of second-law efficiency in a standard Brayton combined cycle power generation, using several paraffinic fuels ranging from methane to heptane. The main objective of the study was to identify a trend with the number of carbon atoms in the compound. In this way, a qualitative criterion can be built to evaluate the properties of poor-quality gas turbine fuels containing significant amounts of C
