Thermodynamics With a low pressure ratio, does a recuperator increase, decrease, or remain the same as the efficiency of a gas turbine?
Added by David H.
Step 1
A recuperator is a heat exchanger that recovers waste heat from the exhaust gases of a gas turbine and transfers it to the compressed air before it enters the combustion chamber. This preheating of the compressed air reduces the fuel consumption and increases the Show more…
