The efficiency and output power of gas turbine power plants are heavily affected by ambient air temperature. To compensate this defect, some cooling technologies and technics are applied. In this paper, the effect of applying an absorption chiller by recovering waste heat from gas turbine flue gas has been investigated. For this purpose, the behavior of a GE-F5 gas turbine was modeled by coding...
