Desarrollo de un software para realizar el análisis termodinámico del ciclo Brayton de la Turbina de Gas de Doble Eje (Edibon TGDEC) del Laboratorio de Termodinámica de la Facultad de Ingeniería Mecánica de la Escuela Politécnica Nacional

Abstract

The main objective of this Project is to create software to do a thermodynamic analysis for the Two Shaft Gas Turbine “TGDEC (Turbina de gas de doble eje controlada por computador)” which is an equipment installed in the Thermodynamic’s Laboratory of the Mechanical Engineering Department at National Polytechnic School (EPN-Escuela Politécnica Nacional). The software created will give to the laboratory students a competitive and interactive set of knowledge around different thermodynamic topics, like Brayton cycle, gas turbines, thermodynamic efficiency of components and systems, thermodynamic behavior of Brayton cycle elements, thermodynamic diagrams and others. The software, “Turbina_GAS_CasVin”, had been developed using Visual Studio 2008 under the formulation developed by Lemmon and cols., 2000 with a set of mathematical and programming tools. Graphics, used in the software and in the project, had been done in graphics designs software by the authors, with few exceptions which are conveniently referenced. The software presents two extra modules; the first one helps the students remembering the basic theoretical information for making the thermodynamic analysis, this module also lets the students work with a dry air thermodynamic properties calculator. The second one will evaluate after the Brayton cycle equipment testing.
