destruction in the combustion chamber (CC) increases. There is an increase <strong>of</strong> exergy destruction by 31.30%<br />

when the inlet air temperature is increased from 5°C to 50°C. Increased exergy destruction shows that<br />

performance <strong>of</strong> combustion chamber deteriorates with the increase in inlet air temperature. A different pattern for<br />

the exergy destruction is observed when cycle pressure ratio (CR) is increased.<br />

Figure: 1 Exergy destruction in combustion chamber with change in IAT<br />

From a compression ratio <strong>of</strong> 5 to 15 there is a decrease <strong>of</strong> exergy destruction in combustion chamber and after<br />

that it increases. After a compression ratio <strong>of</strong> 26, performance <strong>of</strong> system starts deteriorate and regenerator is no<br />

longer useful. That is why in the present analysis exergy destruction in the combustion chamber is studied only<br />

upto a pressure ratio <strong>of</strong> 26.<br />

As the inlet air temperature increases fuel consumption also increases. As it may be seen in the figure.3, there is<br />

an increase <strong>of</strong> 11.65% in fuel consumption with an increase in IAT from 5°C to 50°C. As it may be seen from<br />

the equation <strong>of</strong> combustion chamber exergy destruction that as the mass <strong>of</strong> fuel injected will increase, exergy<br />

destruction in combustion chamber will also increase.<br />
