Gas Turbine Fogging Technology: A State-Of-The-Art Review, Part II: Overspray Fogging - Analytical And Experimental Aspects

none7The strong influence of ambient temperature on the output and heat rate on a gas turbine has popularized the application of inlet fogging and overspray for power augmentation. One of the main advantages of overspray fogging is that it enhances power output as a result of decrease in compression work associated with the continuous evaporation of water within the compressor due to fog intercooling. A comprehensive review on the current understanding of the analytical and experimental aspects of overspray fogging technology as applied to gas turbines is presented in this paper.mixedBhargava R.; Bianchi M.; Melino F.; Peretto A.; Meher-Homji C.
