... of the engine operating line and surge line as schematically presented by Lecheler and Hoffmann ( 5 ) and shown in Fig. 6 . Normally, on-line water wash rates are themselves in the range of 0.4% to 0.5% of the airflow rate on most heavy-duty gas turbines. Even with evaporative fogging, compressor inlet...

... inlet evaporative fogging technology is provided. A discussion of analytical and experimental results relating to droplets dynamics, factors affecting droplets size, and inlet duct configuration effects on inlet evaporative fogging is covered in this paper. Characteristics of commonly used fogging...
