In an open cycle gas turbine, the gases that are produced by combustion go directly into the atmosphere, though the heat produced can sometimes be reclaimed.

In a closed cycle gas turbine, the gases produced are reused and are not emitted into the atmosphere.

What is the maximum plant load factor a gas turbine gives when operating in open cycle?

Depends on what type of gas, plant size and cycle and carriage.


Definition of open cycle gas turbine?

An open cycle gas turbine (OCGT) is a type of gas turbine that converts fuel energy into mechanical energy through a continuous process. In this system, air is drawn in, compressed, mixed with fuel, and combusted, generating high-temperature exhaust gases that drive a turbine. The exhaust gases are then released into the atmosphere, making the cycle "open." OCGTs are often used for peaking power plants due to their quick startup times and ability to meet fluctuating energy demands.


How inefficiencies of compressor and turbine affect back work ratio and efficiency of gas turbine?

Inefficiencies in the compressor of a gas turbine cycle increase the back-work ratio and decrease the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine cycle, since they increase the compressor work.


How do you increase a Thermal efficiency of brayton cycle?

by increasing the turbine inlet gas temperature


What is semiclosed cycle gas turbine?

A semi-closed cycle is a closed cycle which incorporates internal combustion with controlled removal of excess carbon dioxide and water, and controlled addition of a corresponding amount of fuel and oxygen as dictated by the power generation needs. Use of air instead of oxygen is would create a build-up of nitrogen in the working fluid, and increase NOx pollutants. Recirculation of some of the carbon dioxide closes the cycle.

-intake: exhaust closed, intake open -compression: exhaust closed, intake closed -combustion: exhaust closed, intake closed -exhaust: exhaust open, intake closed


Is open cycle gas turbine is heat engine or not?

yes, it is a heat engine. A heat engine is one that extracts heat energy and converts it to mechanical energy.

What is the need for gas turbines?

gas turbine are used for expansion of high pressure gas,which rotates the rotor coupled with generator and hence electricity is finally produced.Gas turbine operate on brayton cycle.
