5.34 Cooling method for gas turbines. Refer to the Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power (January 2005) study of a high-pressure inlet fogging method for a gas turbine engine, Exercise 5.19 (p. 281). Recall that you analyzed a model for heat rate (kilojoules per kilowatt per hour) of a gas turbine as a function of cycle speed (revolutions per minute) and cycle pressure ratio. Now consider a qualitative predictor, engine type, at three levels (traditional, advanced, and aeroderivative).
(a) Write a complete second-order model for heat rate (y) as a function of cycle speed, cycle pressure ratio, and engine type.
(b) Demonstrate that the model graphs out as three second-order response surfaces, one for each level of engine type.
(c) Fit the model to the data in the GASTUR- BINE file and give the least squares prediction equation.
(d) Conduct a global F -test for overall model adequacy.
(e) Conduct a test to determine whether the second-order response surface is identical for each level of engine type.

Combined cycle power plants are common because of their high efficiency and scalability. They typically combine a gas turbine cycle (the Brayton Cycle) with a steam turbine cycle (the Rankine Cycle) [1]. The goal of this project is to determine the operating efficiency and profitability of a realistic combined cycle power plant. The power plant is as follows: 1. A natural gas-fired Brayton cycle with mÛ air,Br = 1.25 kg s−1 . (a) Ambient air at 1 bar and 300...

This case presents two phases of a large business transformation project involving the implementation of an ERP system with the aim of creating an integrated company. The case illustrates some of the challenges associated with integration. It also presents the obstacles facing companies that undertake projects involving large information technology projects. Bombardier and Its Environment Joseph-Armand Bombardier was 15 years old when he built his first snowmobile...
