Gas Turbine Materials Requirement and Selection

by

Gas Turbine Materials Requirement and Selection Gas turbine power plants are designed to achieve high output and efficiency. To achieve this objective, these plants have to operate at high temperatures. Unlike diesel power plants, the components of a gas turbine power plant are exposed continuously to these high temperatures. Apart from this the blades of … Read more

Types of Diesel Engines and their Selection for Diesel Power Plants

Thermodynamic Analysis of I.C. Engines

by

Thermodynamic Analysis of I.C. Engines Before we carry out the thermodynamic analysis of the internal combustion (I.C.) engine cycles, it is desirable to carry out the energy balance of the engine system from first law of thermodynamics point of view. Such an energy balance will help us to understand the flow of energy input to … Read more
