Combined Cycle Gas Turbine – CCS; experiment and modelling

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering

This project will combine an experimental and modelling study of a combined cycle gas turbine with CCS. A Turbec T100 gas turbine will be modified to allow the investigation of the effect of exhaust gas recycle and or steam injection on its performance, with measurement of power output and exhaust gas emissions.

Analysis of post-combustion CO2 capture from natural gas power plants using CFD and process co-simulation

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering

The use of natural gas as a fuel for electricity production is expected to gradually increase in the next decades. Since it is acknowledged that large CO2 emission cuts should be achieved in the near future, it seems plausible that these systems may have to be coupled to CO2 capture schemes. Read more
