Abstract
This paper is devoted to studying the impact of atmospheric conditions, such as ambient temperature, pressure, and relative humidity on gas turbine performance. A fully interactive computer program based on the derived governing equations is developed. The effects of typical variations of atmospheric conditions on power output and efficiency are considered. The thermal efficiency and specific network of a gas turbine were calculated at different values of maximum turbine inlet temperature and variable environmental conditions
