Abstract
Using reasonable assumptions for turbomachinery efficiencies and heat exchanger effectiveness, the coefficient of performance (COP) and specific heating effect (SHE) of the regenerated and unregenerated cycles are computed and optimized. Only heating data are presented and both open and closed cylces are considered. An effort is made to indicated those cases where (the working fluid being air) the cycle may be appropriately open to combine the heating function with ventilation. When driven by an appropriately small direct Brayton cycle primem over, the total potenetial for a new and widespread gas turbine application fo literally millions fo units becomes defined. (A)
