gccbhu Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 suppose i have a reheat and regenerative cycle and i want to increase its efficiency ,can i do so by increasing the reheat flow :cup:
sanctus Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 I don't know thermodynamics in english, I understand what you mean by reheat, but what do mean by regenarative cycle?

Bo Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 in processes like these you'll always have to face to 2nd law of thermodynamics; it means that there always is some energy loss during the process. Point will be to minimize this. If i remember my thermodynamics classes alright reheating etc. is done most efficiently if it is done adiabaticly, or in other words: extremely slow. So no i don't think an increase of the heat flow would make it more efficient, in the contrary! Bo
