| Synopsis: |
Regenerative gas turbines are attractive alternatives to diesel engines and spark- ignition engines for automobiles and to diesel engines and combined-cycle en- gines for power generation. Theory indicates regenerative gas turbines should achieve higher thermal efficiencies than those of diesel engines and combined- cycle engines. Further, regenerative gas turbines are potentially lower in cost, require less maintenance, require less space, and pollute less than competitive systems. Regenerators can be used for exhaust-gas heat exchange or for intercooling in gas-turbine systems. As an exhaust-gas heat exchanger, a regenerator recovers heat from the exhaust and uses it to preheat the compressed air before the compressed air enters the combustor. Preheating of the compressed air permits a small heat input to the combustor for a given power output of the engine. As an intercooler, a regenerator cools the gas between compressor stages. Less work is required to compress cool gas than is required to compress warm gas. Therefore, a regenerator intercooler can reduce the required work input to the compressor.Thus, regenerators can be used to increase the thermal efficiencies and power outputs of gas turbines. the backbones of high-performance re- High-performance regenerators are generative gas turbines. In the past, lack of understanding of regenerator per- formance has led to sub-optimal engine designs. Now this book gives com- prehensive regenerator information. With this book, the designer can design regenerators that will yield gas turbines with maximum thermal efficiencies. |
