This document discusses the performance evaluation and parametric study of basic and reheated cooled gas turbine cycles using exergy analysis. It presents schematic diagrams of the basic and reheated gas turbine cycles with air film blade cooling. Governing equations for modeling the cycle components are provided. Results from a MATLAB simulation show that for both cycles, coolant mass flow rate increases with increasing turbine inlet temperature and compressor pressure ratio. Exergy efficiency decreases with increasing turbine inlet temperature but increases with increasing pressure ratio. The basic cooled gas turbine cycle has higher exergy efficiency than the reheated cycle when the turbine inlet temperature is 1800K and pressure ratio is 30.

An approach to evaluate the heat exchanger retrofit for installed industrial ...eSAT Journals
油
Abstract This paper is the first part of a two-part study aiming to introduce a new integrated approach to evaluate the techno-economic value of recuperator retrofit on existing gas turbine engines. The original gas turbines are designed for combined cycles so that the pressure ratios are moderate to secure suitable exhaust temperatures. One way to enhance the thermal efficiency of some gas turbines is by using recuperation to recover some of the exhaust heat. In this part, the developed model is described and implemented for two gas turbine engines so the obtained characteristics are evaluated against the actual data. The new approach will assist users to select the suitable gas turbine models with favorable recuperator characteristics based on a technical and economic prospective. Besides, the performance results are used to design an appropriate shell and tube heat exchanger. Moreover, a new technique has been established to define the typical heat exchanger parameters in order to ensure the highest possible improvements over the original cycles. One of the main features of this method is that it depends only on the velocity of hot and cold heat exchanger streams from which the rest of the heat exchanger design and performance characteristics were derived. Key Words: integrated approach, techno-economic value, recuperation, shell and tube heat exchanger, velocity

Simulation and visualization of the mechanical components have become a predominant phase
during the design and the production stages. Several means are used to improve the design and
to reduce study time. Today, the powerful hardware and the software available on the market
have contributed greatly on the improvement of design, visualization and manufacturing
process of complex parts (turbine blade). In this context, our study is a contribution to the
establishment of a methodology to a CAD modelling and finite element analysis, which allows
us to identify the mechanical behavior of a gas turbine blade. The profile of the blade turbine
model is obtained after regeneration using the CATIA V5R20 software from the retro-design
technique using a FARO-type scanner. The turbine blade is analyzed under a static mechanical
behavior. It has been observed that the maximum stresses and deformations are located in the
vicinity of the root and the upper surface along the turbine blade. On the other hand, the elastic
energy is located at a distance from the root of the turbine blade.

This document reviews methods of recovering exhaust energy from internal combustion engines using heat pipes. It discusses how heat pipes effectively transfer heat from exhaust gases to a condenser region, enhancing engine thermal performance. The document examines several studies on recovering exhaust waste heat using Rankine cycle systems and heat pipes. These studies found that waste heat recovery can increase engine fuel efficiency by 3-34% and power output by up to 20%, depending on the system and engine operating conditions. Recovering just 6% of exhaust heat energy could result in a 10% reduction in fuel consumption. The document concludes that heat pipe waste heat recovery systems show promising potential but require further research.

This document describes a study to improve flow uniformity in an automotive radiator through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and design optimization. The researchers first modeled a single-pass radiator in CAD software and performed CFD analysis, finding non-uniform flow. They then redesigned the radiator as a three-pass system by lowering tube size. CFD analysis of the new design showed improved flow uniformity, lower pressure drops, and more uniform streamlines. Thermal analysis found the three-pass radiator achieved a lower coolant outlet temperature and higher heat rejection rate than the single-pass version. In summary, modifying a single-pass radiator to a three-pass design through reduced tube sizing was

Flex and rigid-flex printed circuit boards (PCBs) can be considered at the basic level some of the most complex PCBs in the industry. With that in mind, its incredibly easy to make a mistake, to leave something out, or to create a design that was doomed from the start.
Such design failures can end up leading to an eventual failure by delamination, short circuits, damage to the flex portions, and many other things. The easiest way to circumvent these is to start at the beginning, to design with preventing failure in mind rather than trying to fix existing designs to accommodate for problems.
In this webinar, we cover how to design flex and rigid-flex PCBs with failure prevention in mind to save time, money, and headaches, and what failure can look like.
