This article describes the limitations and the environmental effects of fossil fuels have provided the drive to create replacement strategies, such as the utilization of renewable energy resources. Solar energy and related technologies are also among fast-growing renewable resources and...

In this paper, thermodynamic study of simple and regenerative gas turbine cycles is exhibited. Firstly, thermodynamic models for both cycles are defined; thermal efficiencies of both cycles are determined, the overall heat transfer coefficient through the heat exchanger is calculated in order to...
