    gas turbine compressor map charactheristic with IGV

    rmw, Yes, you are right. I posted my request with a lack of information. My model is based on a single shaft machine running at constant speed lines. I went through the Flether's book (GT Performance) but there are few tips regarding to IGVs behavior. As I understand the constant speed lines...

    gas turbine compressor map charactheristic with IGV

    GTstartup, You are right. Both acronyms are correct but they are used for any gt manufacturer. To be more precise, IGV has the main purpose to control air mass flow flowing through the compressor, keeping the TIT (the temperature measured just before the first row of blades in the expansion...

    gas turbine compressor map charactheristic with IGV

    I am developing a mathematical model that simulates a combined cycle in off design conditions following the beta lines concept. I got a compressor map which shows me a complete behavior of a wide range operation profile , but I aim to analysing the possibility to consider a IGV operating in...

    Condensing steam turbines- how to calculate its outlet conditions

    Is there anyone who may explain how is handled the outlet pressure control at a condensing steam turbine under slidding pressure operation and mass flow rate. Which is the best model to describe this off design condition?
