Effects of Thermodynamic Parameters on Performance of Gas Turbine Cycle with Regenerator

One way to increase the efficiency of a gas turbine is to use a regenerator. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of various parameters such as the outlet gas, outlet temperature, and the compressor pressure on the performance of the gas turbine with the regenerator. The analysis is based on coding and the effects of changing each parameter are examined. The results showed that each parameter has a great influence on the cycle performance. By increasing the compressor pressure ratio, the work consumed by the compressor and the work produced by the turbine is increased. By increasing the outlet temperature from the combustion chamber, work produced by turbines is increased. Furthermore, by increasing flow rates the work of the turbine and compressor is increased. A comparison of these effects may assist us to find the optimal cycle conditions.
