Investigation of parameters affecting exergy and emission performance of basic and intercooled gas turbine cycles

In this article an attempt has been made to analyze the affect of various cycle operating parameters, compressor-pressure-ratio, TRIT (turbine-rotor-inlet-temperature) combustor-primary-zone-temperature, equivalence-ratio, and residence-time on thermodynamic as well as emission performance of the BGT (basic-gas-turbine) and IcGT (intercooled-gas-turbine) cycles on a comparative basis. Thermodynamic assessment of the proposed cycles, shows that...
