Studying of the changes effect of the gas properties on the turbine performance using Gordon-McBride algorithm

Abstract

The turbine performance parameters are calculated assuming that the working fluid is a calorically perfect gas with constant specific heats, whereas it is actually a perfect gas. We will study the of the working fluid properties on the turbine performance according to Gordon-McBride algorithm which determines changes of the specific heat and the enthalpy as a function of the temperature and the fuel to air, and suggest an alternatives if the studying was carried out as calorically perfect gas.
