Steam injected Humphrey cycle for gas turbines with pressure gain combustion

Gas turbines are a mature technology and any increase in their efficiency comes at high R&D cost. Pressure Gain Combustion (PGC) has emerged as a concept to significantly improve their efficiency. Technically, PGC is realized through detonative combustion or approximations of constant volume combustion. The latter include pulsed resonant combustion and shockless explosion combustion. Detonation combustion is typically realized as pulsed or...
