Micro gas turbines are designed with low turbine inlet temperature and pressure ratio. To overcome the efficiency defect of the simple cycle, adoption of the recuperator is an inevitable choice. In addition to the design performance, we should also pay attention to the off-design performance of gas turbines since they usually operate at part-load conditions for a considerable amount of the time. This study aims at analyzing off-design performance characteristics of micro gas turbines and addressing the importance of the recuperator in the part load operation. Comparative analyses have been performed to evaluate the part load performance differences among various design and operating options : simple vs recuperative cycles, single vs two shaft configurations, various operating strategies for the single shaft configuration (fuel only control, variable speed operation, variable inlet guide vane control), and current vs advanced engines. Major finding is that maintaining turbine at high level is crucial in efficient operation of micro gas turbines.

It is naturally to be expected that occupational stress on seafarers has specific characters compared to workers engaged in other industries. Because the physical rigors of working and living at sea has been endured as a part of job. The purpose of this paper is to figure out physical changes on seafarers resulted from ordinary shipboard life on the ocean-going cargo vessel. To do this, we performed biochemical inspections testing blood and urine for 28 crews, and measured heart rate of officers engaging in some bridge duties. The tests showed that creatinine, uric acid, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C of some crews fell down to level which could make a bad impact on human body. And the heart rate of deck officers had vibrated with rather wide amplitude whenever they have got some work-related psychological pressure.
