Gas turbines
(OP)
Hi,
I have a question regarding a gas turbine application, where the exhaust gas goes directly to a dryer. The dryer needs certain amount of power to dry the clay, 7,500,000 kcal/h. I need to calculate if the exhaust gases of the gas turbine can produce it.
How can I calculate it? I am preparing a first estimate economic analysis, so I don't need it that detailed.
Dryer: 7,500,000 Kcal/h
Temp required: 600 C
Gas Turbine:
Fuel Consumption:132 mmBtu/hr
Flow rate: 181 ton/hr
Exhaust temperature: 500 C
Can I use the equation: P=mCp(T2-T1)
How can I figure this out?
THank you very much

"Belief" is the acceptance of an hypotheses in the absence of data.
"Prejudice" is having an opinion not supported by the preponderance of the data.
"Knowledge" is only found through the accumulation and analysis of data.
The plural of anecdote is not "data"
RE: Gas turbines
The gas turbine should be selected based on electrical power load requirements and available capital cost.
There are many charts available on the internet showing gas turbine exhaust massflow rates and temperature.
What you are trying to do is difficult and has been rarely accomplished. A company in Nevada has done something similar with gypsum

I would appreciate if somebody could help. It doesnt have to be fancy, a simple aproximation will do.

I ll study your calculation for the future.
Thanks again
