METHOD OF CALCULATING TRANSIENTS IN GAS TURBINE POWER PLANTS

Abstract

A method of finite differences for calculating the transient characteristics of a gas-turbine power plant is offered; the method is claimed to be 'simpler and more reliable as compared to existing methods.' The following formulas are developed: rate-of-flow in the turbine; same in the compressor; compression in the compressor; expansion in the turbine; balance of total compression ratio and total expansion ratio; rate-of-change of gas quantity in the capacity (regeneration case); heat exchange in the regenerator; power balance in the compressor shaft; compressor efficiency; turbine efficiency. The above formulas, some additional turbine formulas, and ship- propulsion formulas are tabulated. Peculiarities in the calculation of a load- drop case are discussed.
