Abstract: A combined power generation system includes a gas turbine including a compressor configured to compress air, a combustor configured to mix the compressed air from the compressor and fuel and combust a mixture of the compressed air and fuel, and a turbine section in which rotational power is obtained by combustion gases generated by the combustor. The system also includes a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) in which steam is generated by heat of exhaust gases from the gas turbine, and a steam turbine driven by the steam generated by the HRSG, wherein the HRSG includes a plurality of heat exchangers provided to cool the compressed air by heat exchange between the compressed air and the exhaust gases.

Abstract: Provided is yarn for a cell culture scaffold. The yarn for a cell culture scaffold according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes slitting yarn produced by cutting a compressed nanofiber web to a predetermined width. Accordingly, by creating microenvironments suitable for migration, proliferation and differentiation of cells, cell viability may be enhanced and cells may be three-dimensionally proliferated. In addition, a scaffold according to the present invention has a mechanical strength sufficient for prevention of disruption of the scaffold which occurs during cell culture, such that cells may be stably proliferated. Further, the scaffold according to the present invention uses slitting yarn formed of the compressed nanofiber web, thereby having pores with various sizes, and therefore cell proliferation and cell viability may be enhanced by creation of an extracellular matrix-like environment.
