Análise dos efeitos da temperatura do ar ambiente no desempenho de uma turbina a gás

Abstract

This work demonstrates a descriptive research on how the performance of a gas turbine is influenced by the inlet air temperature. For this, the operation of a gas turbine will be analyzed and the performance of the inlet air parameters on the performance of this machine will be identified. The model chosen to be verified was the industrial gas turbine GE 7FA, located in a thermoelectric plant in the semi-arid region of the State of Rio Grande do Norte. Through bibliographic research, technical manuals and information related to the thermoelectric plant, the work was developed as a descriptive research, and then simulations were performed using the program for calculating thermodynamic functions Engineering Equation Solver (EES). Data collected from the EES were stored in a spreadsheet and graphs related to temperature, relative humidity and yield were generated in MS Excel.
