Influence of Inlet Pressure Loss on Performance of a Micro GasTurbine - The way small inlet pressure loss can influence Power and Efficiency of a small Rover 1S/60 Gas Turbine

How Inlet Pressure Loss impacts on Power and Efficiency of a Micro GasTurbine? Through the implementation of tests on an fully equipped test bench and the development of an simple but powerful theorethical model,the answer to this question has been given. Furthermore final results have quantitatively shown that, due to scale effects, ROVER 1S/60 micro gas turbine, reacts differently than the biggest size ones do. Tests and calculations have been carried out at the Institut for Energy and Thermodinamic systems at Technical University of Wien.
