Abstract

A numerical simulation was conducted for the gas-cavity flow field of the split-body type recuperator of a 100 kW micro gas turbine along with an analysis of the impact on the gas cavity by such factors with the use of different cone angles α at the gas inlet piping and different lengths L of protrusion into the cavity. The results of the simulation indicate that when α = 5° and L = 370 mm, the resistance losses of the flow path as a whole and the uniformity of velocities at various gas outlets have been comprehensively evaluated and they have achieved optimum values.
