FUEL GAS PROPERTIES
The physical, thermodynamic and chemical fuel-gas properties
relevant to gas turbine operations are given here for single-component
pure gases (Table C-7-1), for binary fuel-gas mixtures of methane/nitrogen
(Table C-7-2), for methane/carbon-dioxide (Table C-7-3),
and methane/hydrogen (Table C-7-4). Finally, fuel gas properties from
a selection of typical fuel gases, derived from different coal gasification
processes, are summarized for medium-Btu gas (Table C-7-5) and
low-Btu gas (Table C-7-6).
