The combustion system is ignited by combusting the liquid alternative fuel from the liquid supply system and is operated by combusting the vapor alternative fuel from the vapor supply system.
Method and apparatus for increasing useful energy/thrust of a gas turbine engine by one or more rotating fluid moving (agitator) pieces due to formation of a defined steam region
A gas turbine engine comprising a housing coupled to an upstream source of hot gas and superheated water droplets, the housing having a centerline, an annular bay section positioned radially away from the centerline and protruding in an upstream direction, a rotatable shaft positioned along the centerline, a fluid mover coupled to the rotating shaft and positioned to receive the hot gas and superheated water droplets from the upstream source and to move the hot gas and superheated water droplets radially toward the annular bay section of the housing, a separator plate that is fixedly coupled to the housing; and an extractive turbine assembly positioned downstream from the separator plate and the annular bay section. The superheated water droplets mix thoroughly with the hot gas inside the annular bay section causing the water droplets to covert to steam, and the steam flows to the extractive turbine, increasing an efficiency of turbine rotation.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INCREASING USEFUL ENERGY/THRUST OF A GAS TURBINE ENGINE BY ONE OR MORE ROTATING FLUID MOVING (AGITATOR) PIECES DUE TO FORMATION OF A DEFINED STEAM REGION
A system for increasing useful energy output includes a source of hot combustion gas, such as from a gas turbine engine, and an apparatus that is disposed downstream of and receives the hot combustion gas and acts thereon to optimize electricity/thrust energy output of the system. The apparatus includes a housing that is coupled to the source and receives the hot combustion gas and also includes a rotatable shaft centrally disposed within the housing. A rotatable fluid moving device is coupled to the rotatable shaft and is configured such that the rotatable fluid moving device moves the hot combustion gas into a shape within the housing such that useful energy output/thrust is increased. Optionally, the system includes a spray nozzle that discharges water droplets upstream of the rotatable fluid moving device in a high temperature environment such that the action of the rotatable fluid moving device generates water vapor (steam) having a particular profile (e.g., annular shaped).
