What is a turbo-gas power plant?

Best Answer

It%26#039;s a combined gas and steam turbine.
A gas turbine produces energy from gas, while the generated exhaust gases are used to produce additional energy via a steam turbine.
Individually the gas turbine efficiency is only about 35-40%.
The steam turbine raises the total efficiency to about 60%.
It%26#039;s the best efficiency...

Surely hydrogen is the best fuel for this system...

• It%26#039;s an energy production system composed of a gas turbine and a steam turbine.
  Scheme:
  gas ----%26gt; gas turbine (energy production, efficiency: about 40%) ----%26gt; exhaust gases(temperature: about 600°C) ----%26gt; steam turbine (energy production, efficiency: about 35%).
  
  Total efficiency: around 60%
  
  
  It%26#039;s important to realize that a ship can already run on ammonia (hydrogen...) using turbo-gas as propulsion system.
  Scheme:
  ammonia(21000 kj/kg) ----%26gt; hydrogen ----%26gt; turgo-gas system(efficiency: 60%).
  It%26#039;s a diesel with an efficiency of about 30%...
• On the ship where I work the exhaust gasses turn a turbo which pumps more air into the burn chamber so the fuel burns hotter and more completely.
