THERMAL ANALYSIS OF OPARI GAS TURBINE POWER PLANT

Abstract

This paper was presented the thermal analysis of one unite of Opari gas turbine power plant ,at the south of Libya. The operation and parameter conditions for one unite of power plant such as Ambient temperature ,pressure ratio, air fuel ratio ,specific fuel consumptions , power , heat rate ,and thermal efficiency were investigated , whereas the thermal analysis of open cycle power plant are made by the operation conditions ,the results was obtained by MATLAB program Software. The operation conditions were strongly affected by the ambient temperature and pressure ratio, in addition the power and thermal efficiency are decreasing with increasing the ambient temperature and air fuel ratio. It was obtained that the heat rate and specific fuel consumption are increased with increasing in ambient temperature.
