The present study analyzed the potential re-utilization and integration of the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) blowdown...

...). Equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties according to the occurring evaporation and condensation phenomena were compared. Equilibrium conditions seem to have a reduced inlet icing risk for the wet case compared to the chilled case. However, comparing the wet case to the unaffected case showed a higher icing...

Sauter mean diameter profiles and liquid mass flux distributions were generated from the phase Doppler anemometry measurements of the evaporating spray drop sizes and velocities. With planar measurements of Mie scattering and kerosene-LIF, the distribution of kerosene (liquid...

Evaporation within the compressor itself (often referred to as overspray) is also central to several advanced wet cycles, including the moist air turbine and the so-called TOP Humidified Air Turbine (TOPHAT) cycle. The resulting wet compression process affords a number...
