Abstract
Application of rotating detonation combustion can significantly enhance gas turbine performance, but the limited flow capacity caused by normally aspirated characteristic of rotating detonation combustor (RDC) severely constrains the operating range of gas turbine. In this paper, the detailed investigation was carried out for the influence of RDC passage area on cycle characteristic parameters for a 25MW single shaft gas turbine. The results demonstrated that changes of RDC passage area had a significant impact on operating range of rotating detonation gas turbine. As RDC passage area increased, operating range of gas turbine moved to the higher power, with the slight increases for cycle efficiency, cycle efficiency increment and net power increment compared to traditional gas turbine at identical net power. For the process when RDC passage area decreased from 0.0272 m2 to 0.0240 m2, the lower working limit of rotating detonation gas turbine decreased to 53.3 % of rated power, in which equivalence ratio of RDC replaced turbine efficiency as the greatest influence factor on cycle efficiency increment.
