Question:
Refer to the Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power (Jan. 2005) study of a high-pressure inlet fogging method for a gas turbine engine, Exercise 11.25. Consider, again, the first-order model for heat rate ( y) as a function of speed (x1), inlet temperature (x2), exhaust temperature (x3), cycle pressure ratio (x4), and air flow rate (x5). A SAS printout with influence diagnostics for the 67 observations in the GASTURBINE file is shown above. Interpret these results. Do you detect any influential observations?
Data from Exercise 11.25
Refer to the Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power (Jan. 2005) study of a high-pressure inlet fogging method for a gas turbine engine, Exercise 8.29. Recall that the heat rate (kilojoules per kilowatt per hour) was measured for each in a sample of 67 gas turbines augmented with high-pressure inlet fogging. In addition, several other variables were measured, including cycle speed (revolutions per minute), inlet temperature (C°), exhaust gas temperature (C°), cycle pressure ratio, and air mass flow rate (kilograms per second). The full data set is saved in the GASTURBINE file.
Data from Exercise 8.29
During periods of high electricity demand, especially during the hot summer months, the power output from a gas turbine engine can drop dramatically. One way to counter this drop in power is by cooling the inlet air to the gas turbine. An increasingly popular cooling method uses high-pressure inlet fogging. The performance of a sample of 67 gas turbines augmented with high-pressure inlet fogging was investigated in the Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power (Jan. 2005). One measure of performance is heat rate (kilojoules per kilowatt per hour). Heat rates for the 67 gas turbines are listed in the table on the bottom of page. Suppose that a standard gas turbine has, on average, a heat rate of 10,000 kJ/kWh. Conduct a test to determine if the mean heat rate of gas turbines augmented with high-pressure inlet fogging exceeds 10,000 kJ/kWh. Use α = .05.
