How is the compression ratio of a compressor determined?
Thread Content
What I do is biomass gasification; the resulting gas is then purified and compressed before being fed into a gas turbine to generate power. May I ask how to set the compression ratio in the compressor before it enters the gas turbine? I don’t know what criteria to use when making a choice, or what compression ratio to select
Ratios of 1:2 to 1:10 are all available; it depends on your design requirements – what the inlet pressure is, what the desired outlet pressure is, what the air volume should be, as well as economic considerations
It depends on the design conditions: the compression ratio = operating pressure of the gas turbine / pressure after gas purification. The compression ratio refers to the ratio of the absolute pressures of the compressor’s exhaust gas to its inlet gas
Thank you so much. I don’t know what the maximum compression ratio of a gas turbine can be; the teacher asked
