Gas-Turbine Regenerators begins with a thorough introduction to
regenerators, familiarizing the reader with the terminology used in
regenerator analysis and design. The book then describes the
historical background of regenerator analysis and design and their
development through the years. Following the historical background,
this book explores gas-turbine cycles, the thermodynamic cycle by
which gas turbines convert heat into work. The book then presents
three design models: Direct Regenerator Design; Optimal Regenerator
Design, and the design methods of Kays and London. The text
concludes with three significant kinds of regenerator performance:
heat transfer; leakage, and pressure drops. Regenerative gas
turbines have the potential to be more efficient and lower in cost
than competing diesel and combined cycle engines. In addition,
regenerative gas turbines require less maintenance, require less
space, and pollute less than competitive systems. This text
provides engineers and designers with the tools needed to achieve
these qualities in four distinct ways: First, in the preliminary
stages, designers can choose from one or more designs that may be
suitable for their application. Second, the designer who has some
design specifications can use the optimization method to choose the
remaining specifications in order to provide maximum thermal
efficiency. Third, this book can be used by the manufacturer of
regenerator cores in selecting core-passage geometrics and core
materials. Finally, inexperienced designers can use the
step-by-step examples of designs of regenerative gas turbines.
