Performance Characteristic Of Single Stage Micro Gas Turbine (MGT) Running On Liquid Biofuels

Biofuels are the future interest on renewable green fuels, especially in rural areas which the difficulties in diesel transportation for the running of the diesel generator set. Nevertheless, there are plenty of biomass which can be make use of, to replace diesel in rural areas. The liquid biofuel m...
