Original scientific paper Nondimensional expressions for the work output, thermal efficiency, heat input, and entropy generation number in the Brayton cycle with a recuperator are given as functions of seven input parameters: pressure ratio, temperature ratio, recuperator effectiveness, turbine and compressor isentropic efficiencies, nondimensional pressure drop in the combustor and recuperator...

The radiative heat transfer problem is investigated numerically for 2D complex geometry biomass pyrolysis reactor composed of two pyrolysis chambers and a heat recuperator. The fumes are a mixture of carbon dioxide and water vapor charged with absorbing and scattering particles and soot. In order to increase gases residence time and heat transfer, the heat recuperator is provided with many incl...

The description of theoretical and experimental studies ventilation systems the recuperator type is given in order to modernize supply exhaust system laboratory room. relevance study dictated by need resolve basic technical contradiction between reducing energy consumption increasing efficiency systems. recuperator-type proposed authors has a significantly lower operator complexity factor compa...

With distributed power generation market, the most economical solution today is to generate power through small gas turbine systems, arbitrarily categorized as microturbines (5 – 200 kW) and miniturbines (200 – 500 kW). The thermal efficiency of such microturbines is about 20% or less if no recuperator is used in the system. Using a recuperator (regenerator can also be considered but has a numb...

Conventional Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs) using ambient air as their coolant cannot fully utilize the greater temperature differential available to them during the colder months. However, changing the working fluid composition so its boiling temperature matches the ambient temperature as it changes has been shown to have potential to increase year-round electricity generation. Previous researc...

Two SIRS alcoholism models with relapse on networks with fixed and adaptive weight are introduced. The spread of alcoholism threshold [Formula: see text] is calculated by the next generation matrix method. For the model with fixed weight, we prove that when [Formula: see text] the alcohol free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, then the drinking crowd gradually disappear. When [Form...

A concentric gas-to-gas heat exchanger is designed for application as a recuperator in the domestic boiler industry. The recuperator recovers heat from the exhaust gases of a combustion process to preheat the ingoing gaseous fuel mixture resulting in increased fuel efficiency. This applied study shows the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations as an efficient design tool for heat...

heat recuperation is often used to improve the overall cycle efficiency of gas turbines. however, generally in small- scale gas turbines, it has a negative effect on turbine inlet temperature, pressure ratio and pressure drops, and thus decreases the overall cycle efficiency. in this paper, a thermodynamic model is performed to evaluate recovered heat as a function of heat exchanger effectivene...
