Abstract

Abstract

Heat management plays a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency and performance of high-efficiency gas turbines. As the demand for cleaner and more energy-efficient power generation increases, optimizing heat management in gas turbines becomes essential. This article explores the latest advancements in heat management technologies for gas turbines, with a focus on their application to improve thermal efficiency, and operational reliability, and reduce emissions. Key techniques, such as advanced cooling systems, thermal barrier coatings, and innovative heat exchange mechanisms are examined in detail, highlighting their role in maintaining optimal turbine operating temperatures. The integration of these technologies not only improves fuel efficiency but also enhances turbine longevity, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. Additionally, the implementation of advanced materials, including superalloys and ceramics, allows for higher turbine operating temperatures, contributing to improved thermal efficiency. The application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations is also discussed, which aids in the design and optimization of cooling systems and heat exchange processes. Furthermore, the article delves into the emerging trend of hybrid turbine systems, which combine gas turbines with renewable energy sources, offering a promising approach to reducing overall heat generation and improving system sustainability. As gas turbines evolve, the continuous development of heat management technologies is vital to meeting the growing demand for efficient, sustainable energy solutions. This article provides an overview of current trends, challenges, and prospects in the field of heat management for high-efficiency gas turbines, offering insights for researchers and industry professionals looking to optimize turbine performance in the face of increasing environmental and operational demands.
