CS-081: Exhaust Gas Recirculation on Gas-Turbine Engine
This case study shows how Flownex was used to evaluate and optimize condensate extraction pump (CEP) flow control at a 4100 MW coal-fired power station. The plant originally used valve throttling to regulate condensate flow, wasting more than 30% of the developed pump head under normal operation.
CS-061: GAS TURBINE COMBUSTOR DESIGN
This case study demonstrates how Flownex was used to model three combustor types—two annular and one reverse flow—showing its effectiveness in handling complex geometries, avoiding numerical issues, and delivering rapid, accurate results that align closely with experimental data and validated industrial codes like CODAS.
