Air Ammonia Mixtures Being Compressed to P,T??

05/13/2014 5:14 PM

Please suggest a better model than just ideal gas law, or suggest how that might be sufficient for 10-20% irreversible compression of air-ammonia mixture from ambient to 10:1. If we must have detailed heat capacity data, I have that for ammonia. The final temperature, pressure point must be below autoignition point.

(1) What will be the final T,P, if t=25°C, P=0.9 atm initially?

(2) Final Exergy of the separated ammonia vapor once flashed by using it as coolant in primary heat exchanger. There are expected to be three heat exchanger stages, each with different coolant, middle one is air, final one is ammonia chiller output.

(3) Ammonia is to be superheated by power turbine exhaust.

(4) Air will be re-compressed to ~22:1 hopefully in second stage compressor.

(5) Any ammonia slip is to be consumed in normal combustion upstream of power turbine.

(6) Superheated ammonia vapor will be expanded to ambient pressure, and ?? low temperature at gas turbine compressor first stage inlet. Ammonia is being recycled to a high degree in concept.

Hire a Chemical Engineer.

If you are not happy with the model of ideal gas law the only other chance is:

Testing

.

Build your own emperical model.

.

Anything good came up on your internet research?

someone rated your response as off-topic, and I wanted to call it a good answer, and as the OP, I demand that right. However, I cannot get the control window for "good answer", so I will express my kudos now, and thanks. I seemingly have returned to my senses from the OP bout of madness I experienced yesterday.

The real question is how to intake cool a LMS-100 gas turbine, without emcumbrances that add untold amounts of currency to the price tag, or interfere with quick dispatch of the unit in simple cycle mode. That is the real question, along with the secondary aspect being means of trickery to arrive at cool, sea level performance on a site that is neither.
