Exergy based Performance Analysis of a Gas Turbine at Part Load Conditions
A gas turbine can run at off-design due to change of ambient conditions or load demand. This needs to study how part load affect the gas turbine performance. The gas turbine considered for this study consists of variable stator vanes (VSVs). The VSVs are re-staggered for load greater than 50% so tha...
