Abstract:
A gas turbine engine system (100) is provided. The gas turbine engine includes a gas turbine engine (10) comprising at least one compressor (14,18,118), at least one combustion chamber (22,120) downstream from the at least one compressor, and at least one turbine (26,30,122) downstream from the at least one combustion chamber, the at least one combustion chamber coupled in flow communication to a source of hydrocarbonaceous fuel (130) and to a source of oxygen (132), the gas turbine engine operable with a working fluid (150) that is substantially nitrogen-free, an exhaust gas (108) conditioning system (112) coupled between a discharge outlet of the gas turbine engine and an inlet of the gas turbine engine, the exhaust gas conditioning system receives all of the exhaust discharged from the gas turbine engine, and a sequestration chamber (142) for storing carbon dioxide, the sequestration chamber coupled to the gas turbine engine for receiving working fluid bled from the turbine upstream from the at least one combustion chamber.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine assembly includes first and second annular members (41, 48) having different first and second thermal expansion coefficients that are connected together with dual arm V brackets (50), where brackets (50) include first and second arms (62, 64) angularly spaced apart from a bracket centerline (70) and extending axially away from bracket bases (72) attached to a first one of the first and second annular members (41, 48), and arms (62, 64) are attached to a second one of the first and second annular members (41, 48).
Abstract:
A method of operating a turbine engine system and a turbine engine system are provided. The method comprises supplying a flow of oxygen to a combustion chamber defined within a plurality of turbines coupled serially together within the turbine engine system, supplying a flow of hydrocarbonaceous fuel to the combustion chambers of each of the plurality of turbines in the turbine engine system, and supplying a working fluid to an inlet of a first turbine engine coupled within the turbine engine system, wherein the working fluid is substantially nitrogen-free and wherein each of the turbines coupled within the turbine engine system is operable with the resulting fuel-oxygen- working fluid mixture.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine system is provided. The gas turbine engine system includes a gas turbine engine and an exhaust gas conditioning system. The gas turbine engine includes at least one combustion chamber and at least one turbine downstream from the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is coupled in flow communication to a source of hydrocarbonaceous fuel and to a source of oxygen. The gas turbine engine is operable with a working fluid that is substantially nitrogen- free. The exhaust gas conditioning system is coupled between a discharge outlet of the gas turbine engine and an inlet of the gas turbine engine.
