Numerical simulation of a complete gas turbine engine working with inlet wet injection has been evaluated using computational fluid dynamic (CFD), the effects of water droplet and injection rate on the compressor operation, engine combustion and the turbine were studied. The results obtained in contrast with dry compression unveil that, with minimum amount of water droplet and high water injection rate (0.5%-3.0%) there is potential influence on the engine performance, it boost the amount of inlet mass flow rate, raises compression and expansion pressure ratio, uplift engine thrust and thermal efficiency through absorption of heat and radiation intensity emission, decreases the relative specific fuel consumption, combustion and turbine outlet temperature and cuts down the amount of NOx production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
