Different Efficiency Calculations of a Combined Cycle Power Plant

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Brayton cycle has a great importance for aviation industry in gas turbines of aircrafts. The aim of this study is to obtain the different efficiency values of one of the combined thermal power plant in our country that its working principle mainly depends on gas turbine Brayton cycle. Ambarlı Combined Cycle Power Plant has been examined to make some comparisons with different efficiency approaches. This power plant is examined by using different efficiency definitions: Thermal, Carnot, Curzon-Ahlborn, Caputo Efficiency and Exergetic Efficiency.
