Abstract
In a chemical recuperative gas turbine, the exhaust heat from the gas turbine is used to make steam and to convert natural gas to a hydrogen-rich fuel. CH_4+H_2O→3H_2+CO-204kJ/mol : Endothermic Reaction The enhancement of the heating value per the supplied fuel due to convert the exhaust heat into chemical energy results in the enhancement of electrical output with the same fuel supply as a simple cycle gas turbine. This paper shows the results of the low temperature steam reforming of methane and the performance investigation of the chemical recuperative gas turbine.
