  • Patent number: 6532745
    Abstract: A partially-open turbine cycle for use with a modified gas turbine wherein the cycle's working motive fluid replaces the predominant air-derived nitrogen working motive fluid contained in a conventional gas turbine cycle. The working motive fluid comprises a mixture of predominantly carbon dioxide and water vapor in a Mol percent ratio identical to that of the same molecular components Mol percentage as generated from the combustion of the fuel used. The cycle's is susceptible to a 98 percent reduction of fugitive nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide mass flow emissions as emitted by present art gas turbines on a rated shaft-horsepower basis, and is further susceptible to high simple cycle and cogeneration plant thermal efficiencies at greatly reduced operating pressures.
