Simulation of Performance and Emissions of a Small Scale Gas Turbine Fueled by Syngas

Gas turbines are fueled mainly with natural gas and oil. To run gas turbines with new fuels (such as syngas), it is important to study the combustion and performance characteristics for these fuels. This work presents a simulation of performance and emission for small-scale gas-turbine system using...
