Calculating the efficiency and the adiabatic flame temperature of methane combustion with preheated air from a recuperator
Objective: INTRODUCTION: A recuperator is a special purpose counter-flow energy recovery heat exchanger connected with the furnace positioned in the exhaust gas-streams in order to recover the waste heat. One use of a recuperator is to preheat the air entering the combustion chamber before mixing with the fuel. A schematic of the…
