RT Journal Article ID 608f94cc589c9dab A1 Reyzin, Ilya T1 EVALUATION OF THE MAISOTSENKO POWER CYCLE THERMODYNAMIC EFFICIENCY JF International Journal of Energy for a Clean Environment JO IJECE YR 2011 FD 2013-05-21 VO 12 IS 2-4 SP 129 OP 139 K1 M-power cycle K1 thermodynamic efficiency K1 humidifying recuperator AB Fuel economy and pollution reduction are becoming more and more important issues from year to year. Companies and governments with practically unlimited resources are heavily investing in heat recovery technologies, struggling for every percent of efficiency. The Maisotsenko power cycle (M-power cycle) is one of the most promising heat recovery technologies to solve these problems. This paper includes the concept of M-power cycle for turbine engines through the Idalex humidifying air recuperator and validation of M-power cycle benefits based on the heat and mass exchanger test results and data from the HAT cycle. Provided analysis confirms the M-cycle's unique heat recovery capabilities and indicates that the thermodynamic efficiency of a turbine engine utilizing an M-power cycle could reach 80%, significantly higher than the efficiency of Brayton engines and even combining cycles.
