Gas Turbines Power. 2014;136(5): doi: / Variation of the isentropic expansion enthalpy drop and turbine inlet volumetric flow due to the use of hydrogen with/without diluents with respect to natural gas operation (for fixed TIT and pressure ratio). The variation is plotted as a function of the stoichiometric flame temperature when diluting hydrogen with nitrogen and steam. Figure Legend:
