  • Advanced Turbine Cycles with Organic Media
    Publication

    Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power plants have become very popular and have found their applications in systems with renewable sources of energy. So far their overall efficiencies are not very impressive and only for the upper temperature of about 300 °C do they exceed 20%. A drawback of these cycles is the limitation of the cycle upper temperature due to the heat exchanger technology and the materials used. However, it is possible...

  • Design Analysis of Micro Gas Turbines in Closed Cycles
    Publication

    The problems faced by designers of micro-turbines are connected with a very small volume flow rate of working media which leads to small blades’ height and high rotor speed. In the case of gas turbines this limitation can be overcome by the application of a closed cycle with very low pressure at the compressor inlet (lower than atmospheric pressure). In this way we may apply a micro gas turbine unit of accepted efficiency to work...

  • Innovative Turbine Intake Air Cooling Systems and Their Rational Designing
    Publication

    - ENERGIES - Year 2020

    The improved methodology of the engine intake air cooling system designing based on the annual effect due to cooling was developed. It involves determining the optimal value of cooling capacity, providing the minimum system sizes at maximum rate of annual effect increment, and its rational value, providing a close to maximum annual effect without system oversizing at the second maximum rate of annual effect increment within the...

  • Subcritical Thermodynamic Cycles with Organic Medium and Isothermal Expansion
    Publication

    The efffciencies of the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) are not very high and only very seldom do they exceed 20%. The increase and optimization of initial parameters and certain modifications of the thermodynamic cycle make it possible to overcome these drawbacks. A new modified cycle has been described and analyzed in detail in the paper. Similarly to the Ericsson cycle for gas turbines, isothermal expansion in the turbine is suggested...

  • TERMODYNAMIC CALCULATIONS OF TURBINE STEAM PARAMETERS

    In this work a heat balance was made for the nominal conditions of a block working with 18K370 turbine. For the parameters obtained, the thermal-flow calculations of the steam turbine were performed, maintaining the actual geometry of its flow system. Based on the nominal values obtained, iterative thermal and flow calculations were made for both the heat cycle of the power plant block and the steam turbine itself, seeking to obtain...

  • On the modelling of aerodynamic force coefficients for over-shroud seals of turbine stages

    This paper presents experimental investigations which made it possible to determine dynamic coefficients of labyrinth over-shroud seal of a model air turbine. The coefficients associate pressure forces with turbine rotor displacement, velocity and acceleration respective to turbine casing (linear model) and play important role in analyzing turbine-set dynamics. The obtained results indicated that involving serious errors can be...

    - Year 2009

    Praca zawiera nowe wyniki dla problemu poszukiwania czarnej dziury w grafie skierowanym przez zbiór agentów. Czarna dziura jest węzłem niszczącym wszystkich wchodzącej do niej agentów. Pokazano, że w przypadku, gdy stopień wejściowy czarnej dziury wynosi D, do przeszukania grafu skierowanego w modelu synchronicznym wystarcza O(D 2^D) agentów. Wartość ta jest bliska znanemu z literatury oszacowaniu dolnemu Omega (2^D). W pracy pokazano...

  • The Method of reduction of aerodynamic forces generated in turbine blade seals
    Publication

    The distibution of pressure in the seal gaps does not only affect the so called '' leakage losses'' and the turbine stage overall efficiency but also plays an important role in the generation of aerodynamic forces which may cause self-excited rotor vibrations. The paper describes a chamber seal applied for the reduction of the aerodynamic forces created in shroud seals. This kind of turbine seal was patented and tested.

  • Gazoport. Głos w dyskusji nad lokalizacją LNG w Polsce
    Publication

    - Year 2007

    Decyzję rządową o imporcie skroplonego gazu ziemnego doPolski drogą morską sprowadzono do walki pomiędzy zabiegającymi o budowę terminalu portami w Gdańsku i Świnoujściu. W zasadzie rozgrywka toczy się o pieniądze na tę inwestycję, a w efekcie o przyszłe dochody z obsługi przeładunku. Zdaje się, że nie wiemy dokładnie, czym jest międzynarodowy rynek obrotu skroplonym gazem, ani jak go wykorzystać do poprawy energetycznego bezpieczeństwa...
