Effect of Compression Ratio on the Performance of Different Strategies for the Gas Turbine

Finding clean and safe energy is the greatest challenge to meeting the requirements of a green environment. These requirements given way the long time governing authority of steam turbine (ST) in the world power generation, and gas turbine (GT) will replace it. It is therefore necessary to predict t...
