Abstract: An algorithm for the optimization of regenerated gas turbines is given. For sets of inputs that are typical for automotive applications, the optimum cycle pressure ratio and a set of optimized ...

Abstract: Current designs of regenerative gas turbines include high-effectiveness rotary regenerators. The regenerators make the gas turbines highly efficient during steady-state operation. During engine ...

Abstract: The effect of axial conduction on regenerator effectiveness has been studied in the past under the assumption of zero seal width. The effect of axial conduction coupled with finite seal width ...
