In this paper, as a step to study the effect of burning low calorific value fuels on gas-turbine performance; a 50 kW slightly pressurized non-premixed tubular combustor along with turbocharger based twin shaft micro gas-turbine was designed and fabricated. A series of tests were conducted to characterize the system using LPG fuel. The tests include the analysis of the temperature profile, pressure and combustor efficiency as well as air fuel ratio and speed of the second turbine. The tests showed a stable operation with acceptable efficiency, air fuel ratio, and temperature gradient for the single and twin shaft turbines. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. date: 2013 publisher: Institute of Physics Publishing official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84881087678&doi=10.1088%2f1755-1315%2f16%2f1%2f012011&partnerID=40&md5=dbd3b7e73eccdfac76392b3b3ec32aee id_number: 10.1088/1755-1315/16/1/012011 full_text_status: none publication: IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science volume: 16 number: 1 place_of_pub: Beijing refereed: TRUE issn: 17551307 citation: Sadig, H. and Sulaiman, S.A. and Ibrahim, I.
