Question: 

Explain regeneration method to improve thermal efficiency of gas turbine with the help of
flow diagram and T-S diagram.

Answer: 

Regenerative method to improve thermal efficiency in gas turbines : The exhaust gases a lot of heat as their temperature is far above the ambient temperature . The heat of exhaust gases can be used to heat the air coming from the compressor thus reducing the mass of the fuel supplied in the combustion chamber as shown in the figure. This method is called regenerative method.
