This report presents the analysis of ceramic heat
exchangers for use in a combined-cycle, wood-fired power
plant. The combined-cycle system investigated is
characterized by having a wood-fueled combustor, an
indirect-fired gas turbine, and a Rankine steam cycle.
The direct use of low-grade fuels, such as wood, in
present gas turbines...
This report investigates the use of wood to fuel a
trimburner incorporated in a combined-cycle, biomass-fired
power plant. The term "trimburner" applies to a
ductburner which is designed to boost the temperature of
the air stream entering the gas turbine. The work
presented here is part of a larger biomass...
