In gas-turbine engine: Intercooling, reheating, and regeneration
…turbine are passed through a heat exchanger, or regenerator, to increase the temperature of the air leaving the compressor prior to combustion. This reduces the amount of fuel needed to reach the desired turbine-inlet temperature. The increase in efficiency is, however, tied to a large increase in initial cost and…
