Abstract
This chapter quantifies the performance of gas-turbine regenerators. Chapter 5 showed how to design alternative regenerators for high performance. A key step in all regenerator design procedures is to calculate how a regenerator will perform in terms of heat-transfer, leakage, pressure drops, and power consumption. This chapter shows how to calculate these performances. Section 6.1 covers heat transfer, and Sections 6.3 and 6.4 discuss leakage and pressure drops, respectively. Power consumption is highly dependent on the particular regenerator design and hardware used, so we do not discuss it in detail.
