The lower heat value fuel (LHVF) can be used on power engine such as boiler, gas engine and gas turbine. Some laboratory and pilot work have been done, but the work done on micro-gas turbine is still limited. The characteristics of LHVF can cause the operations change of micro-gas turbine designed for nature gas. Some possible adjustment and modification methods were mentioned for the use of LHVF on micro-gas turbine. One kind of representative LHVF was chosen and the operations of micro-gas turbine were analyzed. The temperature field and the non-uniformity scale of temperature distribution of combustor were calculated using FLUENT. The feasibility of different adjustment and modification methods were analyzed according to the efficiency, output power and the non-uniformity scale of temperature distribution.展开更多

The aim of this work is to describe a complete tool for the aero-mechanical design of a radial in- flow turbine and a centrifugal compressor. The high rotational speed of such machines and the high exhaust gas temperature (only for the turbine) expose blades to really high stresses and therefore the aerodynamics design has to be coupled with the mechanical one through an integrated procedure. The described approach employs a fuUy 3D Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver for the aerodynamics and an open source Finite Element Analysis (FEA) solver for the mechanical integrity assessment. Due to the high computational cost of both these two solvers, a meta model, such as an artificial neural network (ANN), is used to speed up the optimization design process. The interaction between two codes, the mesh genera- tion and the post processing of the results are achieved via in-house developed scripting modules. The obtained results are widely presented and discussed.展开更多
