Humidified gas turbines (HGT) have been identified as a promising way of producing power. The use of the steaminjected gas turbine (STIG) HGT cycle in a combined power and water desalination system was analyzed using energy and exergy performance criteria. A brief description and rationale of the background of HGT cycles and dual-purpose power and water systems is given. A thermal desalination ...

A review of the literature and discussions with plant operators has been undertaken to establish present knowledge and understanding of the chemistry of the condensates formed on steam turbines and the link to system operation. This has been supplemented by an overview of the effect of test variables on environment assisted cracking. In Section 1, steam turbine operating conditions are describe...

Applying the laws of thermodynamics, a general energy approach is formulated to study delayed fracture structural materials under action force load (static, cyclic, shunting mode its change), high temperatures, hydrogen-corrosive media, neutron irradiation. Based on process, models and forecasting methods residual resource elements in mentioned operating conditions are developed. basic concepts...
