摘要:
The present application and the resultant patent provide a fuel nozzle for mixing a flow of air and a flow of fuel within a combustor. The fuel nozzle may have one or more air passages for the flow of air, one or more fuel pegs for the flow of fuel, and a liner in communication with the air passages and surrounding the fuel pegs. The liner may include a number of ribs thereon so as to promote mixing of the flow of air and the flow of fuel therein.

Disclosed is a turbulated arrangement of thermoelectric elements for utilizing waste heat generated from a turbine engine. The turbulated arrangement of thermoelectric elements is located within the turbine casing at a heat exhaust end of the turbine engine. The turbulated arrangement of thermoelectric elements convert heat exhaust generated from the turbine engine into electrical energy. In one embodiment, the electrical energy generated from the turbulated arrangement of thermoelectric elements can be used to power electrical components located about the turbine engine.

摘要:
A gas turbine inlet system includes a first passage that delivers inlet air to a compressor, a second passage that delivers fuel to a combustor, and a heat pump that transfers heat from the inlet air to the fuel by consuming electric power. The heat transfer causes the turbine inlet air temperature to drop and fuel temperature to increase with favorable effects on both turbine output and heat rate.
