Second-Law Analysis of Irreversible Losses in Gas Turbines

Several fundamental concepts with respect to the second-law analysis (SLA) of the turbulent flows in gas turbines are discussed in this study. Entropy and exergy equations for compressible/incompressible flows in a rotating/non-rotating frame have been derived. The exergy transformation efficiency o...
