In gas turbine recuperators, the exhaust gases are used to heat the incoming air and Cmin/Cmax is therefore approximately equal to unity. Show that for this case e = NTU/(1 + NTU) for counterflow and e = 1/2 (1 – e– 2NTU) for parallel flow.
GIVEN
• Gas turbine recuperator
• Cmin /Cmax ? 1
FIND Show that
(a) e = NTU/(1 + NTU) for counterflow
(b) e = 1/2 (1 – e– 2NTU) for parallel flow
