In this paper, exergy method is applied to analyze the gas turbine cycle cogeneration with inlet air cooling and evaporative aftercooling of the compressor discharge. The exergy destruction rate in each component of cogeneration is evaluated in detail. The effects of some main parameters on the...

In the present work, a combined heat and power plant for cogeneration purposes that produces 50MW of electricity and 33.3kg/s of saturated steam at 13bar is optimized using genetic algorithm. The design parameters of the plant considered are compressor pressure ratio (rAC), compressor isentropic...
