PREFACE
On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, I would like to welcome you to the 7 th International Exergy, Energy
and Environment Symposium (IEEES7) taking place in the Advanced Engineering School ENSIAME of the
University of Valenciennes and du Hainaut-Cambrsis (UVHC), Valenciennes, France, from April 27th to 30th, 2015.
This is the seventh symposium, which is held this year in Valenciennes, France (2015), after Izmir in Turkey (2003);
Kos in Greece (2005); Evora in Portugal (2007); Sharjah in United Arab Emirates (2009), Luxor in Egypt (2011) and
Rize in Turkey (2013). Numerous novel topics and new trends will be introduced in this conference through several
plenary and keynote sessions which will be presented by internationally recognized experts.
The "7th International Exergy, Energy and Environment Symposium" (IEEES7), which is a multi-disciplinary
international conference, will again provide this year an opportunity for researchers, scientists and engineers to
present their recent advances and to discuss current problems, future needs and prospects in the areas of Exergy,
Energy and Environment. The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers from all countries, disciplines
and applications of energy, exergy and environment and to promote the exchange of new ideas and techniques in
the energy conversion and conservation in order to reach a best "energetic efficiency" in the future. During this
conference, a key attention will be given to the "Green transportation, sustainable mobility and Environment",
especially for the new developments of sustainable technologies for thermal comforts (heat pumps and air
conditioning), biofuels and alternative fuels for combustion engines, energy conversion and optimization, etc.
Furthermore, contributions about renewable and sustainable energy sources, energy strategies and policies,
carbon-free society and their complications will be addressed during this conference. The conference has received
a great attention. More than 200 papers have been accepted for the IEEES7from over 30 countries. IEEES7 offers
plenary lectures highlighting current developments and applications in the Exergy, Energy and Environment field
and keynote lectures for specific industrial applications in the following main topic areas:
- Topic A: Fluid Mechanics, Heat and Mass Transfer
- Topic B: CO2 Capture Environment Impact Assessment
- Topic C: Thermodynamics, Exergy and Energy Analyses
- Topic D: Energy Strategies and Policies
- Topic E: Measurements in Exergy, Energy and Environment processes
- Topic F: Sustainable Buildings
The program of the IEEES7 consists of about 110 oral presentations in four parallel sessions and over 90 poster
presentations. Poster presentations will be displayed, in the ENSIAME exhibition hall during the conference. We
hope that this conference will meet your expectations, facilitate and encourage communication of new ideas and
approaches between all those working on previous topics linked to the Exergy, Energy and Environment areas.
The organization of such a large conference is, of course, a great challenge, but has been enjoyable with the sincere
help from my colleagues of LAMIH UMR CNRS 8201 (Department of Mechanics) and outside of the University of
Valenciennes, in France (GEPEA, University of Nantes) and in Tunisia (LESTE, ENIM, University of Monastir). The
support by the International Advisory Committee is gratefully acknowledged. Moreover, the help provided by a
number of additional reviewers in the papers selection process is very much appreciated. The IEEES7 International
Advisory Committees contribution is also sincerely acknowledged.
The technical and financial contributions by a number of supporting institutions and sponsoring organizations are
gratefully acknowledged. I have to acknowledge, especially the aids received from the University of Valenciennes
(UVHC), the Advanced Engineering School (ENSIAME), the LAMIH UMR CNRS 8201, the Regional council of
Nord Pas de Calais, the Institut Carnot Arts, the Technopolis Transalley of Valenciennes, the Syndicat
Intercommunal d'Assainissement de Valenciennes (SIAV), the City Hall of Famars and finally Entropy Journal.
They were essential for a successful organization of this IEEES7. Our main partners during this conference, which
are International Journal of Energy Research, International Journal of Global Warming, International Journal of
Exergy, International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics and Entropy, are
acknowledged for their help and support to devote special issues for selected papers and to publish selected papers
from the IEEES7-2015 proceedings. Of course, I have to acknowledge the fruitful cooperation with the University
of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT, Oshawa, Canada) and the International Association of Hydrogen Energy
(IAHE, Florida, USA), which have been the historic partners of the IEEES.

Keywords: Exergy Analysis, Inlet Air Cooling, Gas Turbine

Abstract
The climate condition affects the performance of the combined-cycle power plants. The efficiency of the combined
cycle is significantly influenced by the temperature, pressure and humidity of the air. When the ambient air
temperature increases, the density of the air decreases, and it leads to a reduction of power generated by the gas
turbine. In this work, the energy and exergy analysis of a commercial gas turbine, with inlet air cooling, was
performed. The effects of fogging system on gas-turbine performance studied. For this aim, the energy and exergy
balances were obtained for each piece of equipment. Calculations have been made for four different cases for the
regarded gas turbine system. Furthermore, exergetic efficiency, exergy destruction rates and improvement
potentials were obtained, and the results of the study demonstrated graphically. It is concluded that the net power
output of the gas turbine system increased at lower inlet temperatures and exergy destruction rates occurred from
highest to lowest as combustion chamber (CC), gas turbine (GT) and air compressor (AC), respectively.

I. Introduction

and exergetic efficiencies of the system obviously

increased via using the cooling processes. Sanaye and
Tahani (2010) studied the effects of evaporative
cooling on gas turbine performance. They proposed
the prediction equations for the amount of actual
increased net power output of various gas turbines.
Chaker et al. (2002) provided the results of extensive
experimental and theoretical studies, coupled with
practical aspects learned in the design and
implementation of nearly 500 inlet fogging systems on
gas turbines ranging from 5 to 250 MW. They modeled
the transient behavior of droplets for droplet diameters.
Hosseini et al. (2007) have investigated the
performance of gas turbines of a commercial power
plant using media evaporative coolers and obtained
that the payback period of the investment as four
years. At an ambient temperature of 38C and a
relative humidity of 8%, a temperature drop of 19C
was achieved, that the output of the gas turbine of
plant increases by 11 MW. Gord and Dashtebayaz
(2009) proposed a system to enhance the gas turbine
performance by reducing the inlet air temperature and
reported that the performance of the cycle increased in
range of 1.55%.

Energy is a fundamental concept of thermodynamics

and power generation is one of the important
application areas of engineering analysis. A Power
plant which uses fossil fuel operates on the base of a
vapor power cycle, a gas power cycle or both cycles as
a combined cycle. In the conventional fossil fueled
power plants, chemical energy of the fuel is first
converted into mechanical energy and finally to
electrical energy.
The efficiency of the cycle is significantly influenced by
the temperature, pressure and humidity of the inlet air.
When the ambient temperature increases, the density
of the air decreases, and it leads to a reduction of
power generated by the gas turbine. In order to avoid
the loss of gas turbine power output during hot
seasons, there is a need to use a cooling system to
decrease the inlet air temperature. Furthermore, the
increase in ambient air temperature also causes a
significant increase in the gas turbine heat transfer rate
and consequently operating cost rate. In order to
overcome the loss of gas turbine power output during
hot seasons is to cool the inlet air.

Utamura et al. (1998) determined that the power output

of the gas turbine could be increased by 10% using 1%
fogging under ambient conditions of 35C and 53%
relative humidity. Bhargava et al. (2005) studied inlet
air cooling effect on gas turbine performance by using
fogging system and reported that high pressure inlet
fogging could have different influencing effect on the
performance of a Combine Cycle Power Plant. An
analytical method for evaluating the applicability of
combined cycle power plant with inlet air cooling
developed by Yang et al. (2009). They concluded that
inlet fogging is superior in terms of power output at
15-20C ambient temperatures when compared with
chilling. Hartel et al. (2003) studied the effects of

Many researchers have studied different cooling

methods to enhance the performance of gas turbine
plants operating at high-temperature environmental
conditions. These cooling methods are mainly
evaporative coolers, spray inlet coolers or fogging
systems, and mechanical refrigeration or chillers
(Ehyaei et al. 2011). Comparative performance
analysis of evaporative cooling, refrigeration cooling,
and mechanical cooling for compressor inlet air
conducted by Kakaras et al. (2004). In a different work,
a gas turbine cogeneration plant with inlet air cooling
and evaporative after cooling studied by Khaliq and
Dincer (2011) and they concluded that the energetic

fogging on the work of compression. Their results

demonstrated that the beneficial effects of wet
compression decreases when the droplet diameter
increases. Ehyaei et al. (2011) investigated the effects
of inlet fogging system on the first and second law
efficiencies for a typical power plant. Athari et al.
(2015) performed energy, exergy and exergoeconomic
analyses of the integration of biomass gasification with
a gas turbine plant incorporating fog cooling. Their
results showed that increasing gas turbine inlet
temperature improved the energy and exergy
efficiencies. Salvi et al. (2002) emphasized the
advantages of using an ejection cooling system and
proposed the technique of compression inlet air cooling
through an ejection system supplied by the exhaust
heat of the gas turbine. Shirazi et al. (2014) have
developed and modeled a thermal energy storage
(ITES) system for cooling the inlet air of a gas turbine
cycle and the results showed that the output power and
exergetic efficiency of the plant improved by 11.63%
and 3.59% respectively.

II. Gas Turbine System

Fig.1. shows the gas-turbine system operating on the
basis of a Brayton cycle. The system consists of
fogging sprayer, compressor, combustion chamber,
gas turbine and generator. A fogging system has been
installed to the air intake system of the investigated gas
turbine which is a part of a combined cycle power
plant, located in Marmara Region, Turkey. The nominal
power output of the gas turbine is 239 MW at ISO
conditions (15C and 60% RH). The mass flow of the
air in the compressor is 649 kgs-1 and the pressure
ratio is 16 bar.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of

fogging system on gas turbine performance. The
influence of fogging system on the net power output is
determined. Calculations have been made for four
different cases for regarded gas turbine system. The
cases based on different ambient temperatures. The
results obtained by using energy and exergy analysis
for the gas turbine system and compared by
graphically.

In fogging system, water mist is sprayed by nozzles in

the upstream of the filters in the opposite direction to
the compressor air flow direction to increase
gas-turbine power output. There are a total number of
5400 nozzles and operates at 70 bar.

High purity demineralized water is used in the fogging

sprayer which is prepared by the reverse osmosis
system. The pH of the water is set between 6-7 at the
outlet of the reverse osmosis. First, water is stored in
a tank and subsequently pumped to nozzles. In the
nozzles, demineralized water is atomized by using
droplets which have less than 50 micron diameter.
Then the water mist enters to the air flow passage
and afterwards evaporates quickly giving a cooling
effect when exposed to the air stream.

IV. Results and Discussion

III. Energy and Exergy Analysis

Calculations are carried out considering different inlet

temperatures at constant humidity (40%) of air. For
this aim, four distinct cases are determined. In the
cases 25, 30, 35 and 40 C selected as the ambient
temperatures at the inlet of the fogging system.

The performance of the system can be analyzed via

applying the conservation principles of energy that is
described by the first law of thermodynamics. On the
other hand, exergy is a very important tool in
analyzing and designing the energy systems. The
exergy method provides effective assistance in
identifying,
evaluating
and
reducing
the
thermodynamic inefficiencies and highlights the
possible improvements.

The exergy analysis has been performed with the foll

owing assumptions:

Air and natural gas are ideal gases.

The gain and loss of heat, pressure drops have
been neglected, and all equipment operates
adiabatically.
Natural gas is completely burned in the
combustion chamber and the NOx emissions
that are produced as a result of the combustion
within the gas engine are negligible.
The percentage of O2 in the flue gas assumed
as 13,459% in all cases.
Relative humidity of the air assumed as 90% in
the downstream of the fogging system.
The mass flow rate in the air compressor is
649 kgs-1 in all cases.
Environmental conditions were taken as the

Due to the exergetic evaluation, it was found that the

efficiency of GT is higher than the efficiency of CC while
the AC was the highest one among the components in
each case (Tab. 7). Furthermore, the highest amount of
exergy destruction and improvement potentials
occurred in combustion chamber and the lowest values
occurred in air compressor in the cases (Tab. 7).

The performance of a gas turbine power plant can be

affected by many parameters. Among these, the
temperature of combustion air plays an important role
and directly affects the net power output. In this
study, exergetic analysis of a gas turbine with fogging
system was performed. According to the results, the
performance of the gas turbine system decreased with
the increase in the intake air temperature.

Furthermore, the gas turbine system was also

investigated from the exergetic view point. Based on
the results, exergy destruction rates were ranged from
highest to lowest as CC, GT and AC within the cases.
Additionally, best improvement potential has been
obtained for the CC while the most efficient component
was the AC in all cases.

In conclusion, exergy is a very important tool in

analyzing and designing energy systems. The
methodology and results of this work can be useful in
the analysis and design of similar systems. The results
of the present study can be used as a basis for
exergoeconomic evaluation.
