Abstract
The exergy-based sustainability indices have been a cause of concern for gas turbine power plant as its performance is very sensitive to air temperature. Hence, the present study evaluates the impact of atmospheric air temperature on exergy sustainability and ecological function of a naphtha-based gas turbine power plant using EES. The outcome of the study shows that combustion chamber (CC_1) needs more attention compared with other components present, and it has least improvement potential as compared with other components. Further while carrying out parametric analysis with respect to ambient air, it was observed that for a 1.1°C increase in atmospheric air temperature a reduction in sustainability index about 0.66% was observed respectively, for GT_1. Thus, this study established that the power plant's exergy sustainability performance has a negative impact at high ambient air temperatures on exergy sustainability indices.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Progress , a quarterly publication of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, reports on critical issues like remediation and treatment of solid or aqueous wastes, air pollution, sustainability, and sustainable energy. Each issue helps chemical engineers (and those in related fields) stay on top of technological advances in all areas associated with the environment through feature articles, updates, book and software reviews, and editorials.
