hydrogen and carbon monoxide. regardless of the method of production, the product stream is separated into its components. the hydrogen is dried and purified. this gaseous hydrogen is then compressed and cooled to sufficiently low cryo- genic temperatures by the use of heat exchangers, along with reciprocating...
key on a car triggers a series of events — a squirt from the fuel injector, an ignitionspark and so forth — starting a gas turbine is a multistep operation. of course, ramping up a co turbine from room temperature to high temperatures and pressures puts a great deal more stress on components than anything...
