Regeneration with Reheat and Intercooling
- A
Brayton Cycle with Regeneration
uses a heat exchanger called a regenerator to preheat the air-fuel mixture before it is fed to the combustion chamber using the turbine effluent as the heat source.
- A
regenerator
reduces QC and QH for the cycle by the same amount. This has no effect on the power produced, but increases thethermal efficiency
of the cycle.
- Capital cost and fuel prices determine whether a regenerator is justifiable.
