The Section is structured as follows. Subsection 2.1 presents a review of the MCFC. Some basic concepts of the gas turbine theory are presented in Subsection 2.2. Subsection 2.3 describes the gas turbine control configm ation. Subsection 2.4 briefly discusses the fuel cell-microturbine hybrid power cycles. Subsection 2.5 outlines the adaptive control. At last. Subsection 2.6 depicts some simulation results and discussion. 

A thorough introduction to gas turbine theory is provided in (Cohen et al, 1987). There also exists a large literature on the modeling of gas turbines. Model complexity varies according to...

Giampaolo, T. 2009. The Gas Turbine Handbook, 4th ed., Lilbum, GA Fairmont Press. This work examines the various types of gas turbines, including microturbines, and their applications, operation, and troubleshooting. Turbine theory, control systems, inlets and exhaust, accessories, acoustics, and noise control and prevention are also addressed. Four case studies offer real world examples of various issues related to gas turbines.

The two step cooling example given above can in theory be extended to multi-step cooling of the turbine. It is more convenient to treat the turbine expansion as a modification of normal polytropic expansion the analysis is essentially an adaptation of that given in Section 4.2.1.3 for the multi-step cooled turbine cycle. 

Considering the wake of a flame holder as a stirred reactor may be inconsistent with experimental data. It has been shown [66] that as blowoff is approached, the temperature of the recirculating gases remains essentially constant furthermore, their composition is practically all products. Both of these observations are contrary to what is expected from stirred reactor theory. Conceivably, the primary zone of a gas turbine combustor might approach a state that could be considered completely stirred. Nevertheless, as will be shown, all three theories give essentially the same correlation. 

Stirred reactor theory was initially applied to stabilization in gas turbine combustor cans in which the primary zone was treated as a completely stirred region. This theory has sometimes been extended to bluff-body stabilization, even though aspects of the theory appear inconsistent with experimental measurements made in the wake of a flame holder. Nevertheless, it would appear that stirred reactor theory gives the same functional dependence as the other correlations developed. In the previous section, it was found from stirred reactor considerations that... 

A two-stage double-acting compressor with water cooled cylinder jackets and intercooler is shown in Figure 7.18(c). Selected dimensional and performance data are in Table 7.7. Drives may be with steam cylinders, turbines, gas engines or electrical motors. A specification form is included in Appendix B. Efficiency data are discussed in Section 7.6, Theory and Calculations of Gas Compression Temperature Rise, Compression Ratio, Volumetric Efficiency. 

Any combination of flowmeter and suitable specific gravity (density) meter (Section 6.6) can in theory be employed to produce a mass rate of flow. However, these so-called indirect meters have a limited range and accuracy and require careful and frequent calibration and maintenance. An instrument based on the turbine flowmeter (Volume 1, Section 6.3.9) and acoustic density meter (Section 6.6.1) has been employed with good results<8) (see Fig. 6.5). 

A company, Ceres Power Limited, see web site, has been set up to exploit the new fuel cell, which is described in its flat square form in Steele etal. (2001). In this reference, the efficiency theory is of the type asserted to be incorrect in this hook The initial aim of the Ceres cell is anode reform, aided by a pre-reformer, and, optionally, integration with modern small gas turbines. A replacement for the car battery is an immediate target. Direct hydrocarbon oxidation is over the horizon.
