How do you calculate specific fuel consumption of gas turbine?
A simple-cycle gas turbine used for power generation has a thermal efficiency of about 34 percent. Since 1 kwh is theoretically equivalent to 3,415 Btu, the simple-cycle gas turbine has a fuel connsumption of: 3,415 / 0.34 = about 10,000 Btu/kwh. Given the heating value (i.e, heat of combustion) of a fuel, we can easily calculate the simple-cycle gas turbine fuel usage. For example, natural gas has a net heating value of about 21,500 Btu/pound. Thus, the natural gas consumption in a simple-cycle gas turbine would be: 10,000 / 21,500 = 0.47 pounds/kwh = 0.21 kg/kwh. As another example, a typical diesel oil has a net heating value of 130,000 Btu/gallon. Thus, the diesel oil consumption in a simple-cycle gas turbine would be: 10,000 / 130,000 = 0.077 gallon/kwh. (The gallon used just above is the U.S. gallon rather than the Imperial gallon) A combined-cycle gas turbine will have a higher thermal efficiency and, hence, lower fuel consumptions.
What are the different types of Turbines used in hydroelectric power plants?
1 Pelton Turbine 2 Kaplan Turbine 3 Francis Turbine 4 Propeller Turbine 5 Tubular Turbine
What is the effect or reheater in the gas turbine?
1.Turbine output is increased for same compressor work. 2.As more heat is supplied,thermal efficiency decreases.
How do you calculate only turbine efficiency not turbine cycle efficiency?
by calculating the inlet steam enthalpy-outlet steam enthalpy we will know the total kcal consumed for output mw required kcal for 1 kwh=860 now campare this with your turbine kcal for 1kwh now you came to know how much is your turbine efficiency................................................................................
Difference between francis and kaplan turbines?
The comparison kaplan and francis hydro power turbine is as under: 1. Efficiency of Kaplan hydro power turbine is higher. 2. Kaplan turbine is more compact in cross-section and has higher rotational speed to that of francis hydro power turbine. 3. In Kaplan turbine, the water flow is axia and in francis trubine it is radial. 4. The runner blades in the kaplan turbine is less in number. 5. Specific speed of Kaplan turbine is 2 to 3 times that of Fancis turbine. 6. Friction loss in Kaplan turbine is less. 7. Francis turbine requires medium head while Kaplan trubines are low head hydro power turbines.

Airbus 320 use what type of fuel?
The Airbus A320 uses Jet A / Jet A-1 type fuel
What kind of fuel do jets burn?
Jet fuel is a type of aviation-fueldesigned for use in aircraftpowered by gas-turbine. It is clear to straw-colored in appearance. The most commonly used fuels for commercial aviation are Jet A and Jet A-1 which are produced to a standardized international specification. The only other jet fuel commonly used in civilian turbine-engine powered aviation is Jet B which is used for its enhanced cold-weather performance.Jet fuel is a mixture of a large number of different hydrocarbons. The range of their sizes (molecular weights or carbon numbers) is restricted by the requirements for the product, for example, the freezing point or smoke point. Kerosene-type jet fuel (including Jet A and Jet A-1) has a carbon number distribution between about 8 and 16 carbon numbers; wide-cut or naphtha-type jet fuel (including Jet B), between about 5 and 15 carbon numbers.jet-fuelRead more: jet-fuel
Which fuel using aeroplane?
There are many types of fuels used for aircraft. there are aircraft that run on normal unleaded and diesel fuels but the typical aviation only fuels are avgas (usually leaded 100 octane or 130/110), Avtur (aviation turbine), Jet-A and Jet A-1. these are the typical fuels you will find. Avgas is mainly used in general aviation whilst most airliners/jets use jet-a1.
What type of fuel does airbus A330 use?
All types of Airbus, including the A330, use standard aviation fuel known as 'Jet A' in North America and 'Jet A-1' in the rest of the world.
What things are in the back of a wind turbine?
There are a few things on the backs of Wind Turbines: 1) Anemometers - wind speed sensors that help the turbine fine tune its blade pitch to be most efficient. 2) Wind Vanes - wind direction sensors that keep the turbine lined up with the wind, or turn it away from the wind when the gusts are too strong and can damage the turbine. 3) Visibility Lighting - red and white lights to meet requirements of aviation authorities for visibility.
What is the fuel used in aircraft?
Most large aircraft that have turbine-powerd engines use a fuel called Jet A. Jet A is basically highly refined kerosene. Jet A is used in the United States, Jet A-1 is used in the rest of the world. Where extreme cold conditions exist, Jet B is used for its better cold weather performance. Other aircraft that have reciprocating (piston) engines use Aviation gasoline, which is similar to what is used in automobiles.
How steam turbines be classified?
1) Impulse turbine 2) reaction turbine
What fuel do airplanes use?
Piston-engined airplanes run on avgas, which is very similar to automotive gasoline, but higher octane. Avgas is also often still leaded, although this is scheduled to be phased out in 2009. Some piston-engine aircraft are capable of running on automotive gas, but it is usually reccommended that avgas be used whenever possible.Turbine-engined airplanes like jets, turboprops and many helicopters run on jet fuel. Jet fuel is very similar to kerosene or diesel fuel, but is highly filtered and usually contains additives to prevent formation of water-ice crystals in the fuel system.Jet fuel is a type of aviation fuel designed for use in aircraft powered by gas-turbine engines.

Can rocket fuel be used for gas turbine engines?
There are various types/combinations of rocket fuels. The most popular one is Hydrogen which was used by the Space Shuttle. But there are some hydrocarbon fuels as well that are used in rocket engines (for example RP-1 used by the Soyuz rocket). By asking specifically about rocket fuel I assume that you make the distinction between fuel and oxidizer (because a rocket engine generally uses both fuel and oxidizer in contrast with gas turbine engines who takes its oxidizer from atmospheric air). All in all, the answer is not as straight forward as you might expect: certain rocket fuels (see RP-1 like fuels) are very similar to jet fuel so they can be used as fuels in gas turbine engines. Other fuels like hydrogen or hydrazine can't be used in current gas turbine engines. But it is not impossible to have in the future gas turbine engines that uses hydrogen or some other fuels used in rocket engines.
