CONTINUOUS DETONATION GAS TURBINE ENGINE
A gas turbine engine includes a primary combustor, a secondary combustor, a high pressure (HP) turbine, and a mixing duct. The HP turbine is downstream of the primary combustor and fluidly connected to a rear end of the primary combustor via a first exhaust duct. The mixing duct is disposed downstream of the HP turbine and the secondary combustor. The mixing duct has a first inlet fluidly connected to the HP turbine via a turbine exit duct, a second inlet fluidly connected to a rear end of the secondary combustor via a second exhaust duct, and an outlet. The turbine exit duct directs a primary exhaust stream, which is emitted from the primary combustor and expanded through the HP turbine, into the mixing duct. The second exhaust duct directs a secondary exhaust stream emitted from the secondary combustor into the mixing duct.

A gas turbine system has a source of ammonia and a source of an oxygen-containing gas, a first combustion chamber connected to receive ammonia, a hydrogen-rich gas stream and oxygen-containing gas, a turbine connected to receive an exhaust gas stream from the first combustion chamber; and a second combustion chamber connected to receive an exhaust gas from the turbine, ammonia and a hydrogen-rich gas stream.
COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT
A combined cycle power plant is capable of improving power output and power generation efficiency by cooling intake air supplied to a gas turbine. The plant includes a gas turbine power generation system, an operating fluid power generation system, and a cooling system. The gas turbine power generation system includes an air compressor for compressing air supplied through an air incoming path, a gas turbine for generating rotary power by burning a mixture of fuel and the air compressed by the air compressor, and a first generator for generating electricity by using the rotary power of the gas turbine. The operating fluid power generation system heats an operating fluid by using combustion gas discharged from the gas turbine and generates electricity using the heated operating fluid. The cooling system cools air supplied from the air compressor by supplying the operating fluid to an upstream side of the air compressor.

System and method for high efficiency power generation using a nitrogen gas working fluid
A method of power production using a high pressure/low pressure ratio Brayton Power cycle with predominantly N.sub.2 mixed with CO.sub.2 and H.sub.2O combustion products as the working fluid is provided. The high pressure can be in the range 80 bar to 500 bar. The pressure ratio can be in the range 1.5 to 10.
