A counterflow regenerator is used in a gas turbine power plant to preheat the air before it enters the combustor. The air leaves the compressor at a temperature of 350°C. Exhaust gas leaves the turbine at 700°C. The mass flow rates of air and gas are 5 kg/s. Take the cp of air and gas to be equal to 1.05 kJ/(kg K). Determine the required heat transfer area as a function of the regenerator effectiveness, if the overall heat transfer coefficient is 75 W/(m2 K).

GIVEN
• Counterflow air-to-gas heat exchanger
• Entering temperatures
? Ta,in = 350°C
? Tg,in = 700°C
• Mass flow rates: m a= 5 kg/s
• Specific heats: cpa = cpg = 1.05 kJ/(kg K) = 1050 J/(kg K)
• Overall heat transfer coefficient (U) = 75 W/(m2 K)
