    Abstract: Various embodiments include a leak detection system for a turbine compartment. In some embodiments, the leak detection system includes: a tracer fluid system fluidly connected with the turbine compartment, the tracer fluid system configured to provide an optically detectable fluid to a fluid supply of the turbine compartment; an optical detection system operably connected to the turbine compartment, the optical detection system configured to detect the presence of the optically detectable fluid in at least one location of the turbine compartment; and a control system operably connected to the tracer fluid system and the optical detection system, the control system configured to obtain data about the presence of the optically detectable fluid in the at least one location, and provide an indicator indicating a potential leak location based upon the data about the presence of the optically detectable fluid in the at least one location.

    Abstract: A power plant includes an exhaust duct that receives an exhaust gas from an outlet of the turbine outlet and an ejector having a primary inlet fluidly coupled to a compressor extraction port. The ejector receives a stream of compressed air from the compressor via the compressor extraction port. The power plant further includes a static mixer having a primary inlet fluidly coupled to a turbine extraction port, a secondary inlet fluidly coupled to an outlet of the ejector and an outlet that is in fluid communication with the exhaust duct. A stream of combustion gas flows from a hot gas path of the turbine and into the inlet of the static mixer via the turbine extraction port. The static mixer receives a stream of cooled compressed air from the ejector to cool the stream of combustion gas upstream from the exhaust duct. The cooled combustion gas mixes with the exhaust gas within the exhaust duct to provide a heated exhaust gas mixture to a heat exchanger.

    Abstract: A turbomachine includes a compressor configured to compress air received at an intake portion to form a compressed airflow that exits into an outlet portion. A combustor is operably connected with the compressor, and receives the compressed airflow. A turbine is operably connected with the combustor, and receives combustion gas flow from the combustor. The turbine has a plurality of wheels and a plurality of buckets, and the turbine receives compressor bleed off air to cool at least one of the wheels. A cooling system is operatively connected to the turbine, and includes a plurality of heat pipes attached to or embedded within at least one of the wheels. The compressor bleed off air is configured to impinge onto at least one of the wheels or the heat pipes. The heat pipes and the compressor bleed off air are configured to cool the wheels.
