ABSTRACT

In the current day, the utilization of power is expanding because of the proliferation of compact electronic gadgets. The upgrade of a minimally expensive gas turbine motor is expected for its tirelessness in producing power. It is another age of disseminated innovation utilized for fixed power. A specific type of ignition turbine produces both intensity and power at a low level. This research focuses on the development of low-cost, mini gas turbine engines using turbochargers in small trucks and assesses the thermal efficiency of the developed micro gas turbines. In general, the test engine bench was built using a Mitsubishi Stradra std-4D56T automotive turbocharger, which consists of a compressor and a common shaft-mounted turbine assembly. The performance of the adapted mini gas turbine was experimentally analyzed with an increased compressor speed of 5,000 rpm. The turbine speed was limited to 34,000 rpm, and the system was only allowed to operate at a maximum temperature of 701 ?C, thermal efficiency of the system is 18%.
