Cooling method for gas turbines. Refer to the Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power (January 2005) study of a high-pressure inlet fogging method for a gas turbine engine, Exercise 4.13 (p. 188). Recall that you fit a first order model for heat rate (y) as a function of speed (x1), inlet temperature (x2), exhaust temperature (x3), cycle pressure ratio (x4), and air flowrate(x5) to data saved in the GASTURBINE file.

(a) Researchers hypothesize that the linear relationship between heat rate (y) and temperature (both inlet and exhaust) depends on air flow rate. Write a model for heat rate that incorporates the researchers’ theories.

(b) Use statistical software to fit the interaction model, part a, to the data in the GASTURBINE file. Give the least squares prediction equation.

(c) Conduct a test (at α = .05) to determine whether inlet temperature and air flow rate interact to effect heat rate.

(d) Conduct a test (at α = .05) to determine whether exhaust temperature and air flow rate interact to effect heat rate.

(e) Practically interpret the results of the tests, parts c and d.

Turbines in electric power stations are driven by high pressure steam produced by boiling water in a boiler. The pressure in the boiler could be as high as 300 atm. This high pressure steam could explode in a disastrous way if there was a fault in the boiler. Before use, boilers are tested by filling them with water, and pressurising the water to, for example, 300 atm. Let's guess that this reduces the volume of the water to 98.5% of...

Steam enters the high-pressure turbine of a steam power plant that operates on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle at 6 MPa and 500°C and leaves as saturated vapor. Steam is then reheated to 400°C before it expands to a pressure of 10 kPa. Heat is transferred to the steam in the boiler at a rate of 6*104 kW. Steam is cooled in the condenser by the cooling water from a nearby river, which enters the condenser at 7°C. Show the...
