The Power Enhancement of a Mini-Gas Turbine by Adding Ethanol to the Compressor Inlet Air

An experimental study is conducted on the utilization of the inlet ethanol injection technique in order to evaluate its impact on the performance of a two-shaft T200D mini-gas turbine engine. The maximum degradation recorded in power output was 32.8% at the climate temperature of 45oC. Nevertheless,...
