Abstract

IN the preliminary calculation for the design of a gas turbine or turbocompressor it is necessary to assume a value of the reheat factor R. The contemporary development of gas turbines and rotary compressors has aroused renewed interest in this quantity, which was studied earlier in connexion with steam turbines refs. 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9. The paper contains an analysis of this value for a gaseous working fluid under appropriate assumptions it is first calculated for an infinite number of stages with constant and variable specific heats secondly, exact and approximate formulae are derived for finite numbers of stages of expansion and compression respectively and a method of estimating the heat recovery in turbines for working fluids with variable specific heats is indicated. Similar problems were considered in ref. 10 and the subject matter of Part III was presented to the Aeronautical Research Council ref. 6.
