Abstract

In this paper, the author discusses procedures for evaluating energy, temperature, and pressure relations based on precise knowledge of thermodynamic properties of the gases resulting from the combustion of fuel in thermal devices, including gas turbines. The problem of computing thermal efficiency and fuel required to cause a given temperature rise in the working fluid of a gas turbine is discussed.
