Abstract
Due to the inexistence of inexhaustible sources of energy and perpetual cycle machines, as well as the constant attempts to reduce the emission of pollutants, several researches were started on the reuse of the various forms of energies present in a thermal cycle, in order to reduce losses and, consequently, to generate a more economic process. Nevertheless, this work intends to perform, through the Rankine Cycle and the software Engineering Equation Solver (EES®), a simulational analysis of the thermal and economic efficiency of the number of regenerators needed to more effectively reuse the heat generated by the boilers, prevent corrosion in the boilers and, thus, reduce the initial energy added to the system. In addition, after choosing the number of ideal regenerators for higher thermal efficiency, an analysis will also be made for the number of economically viable regenerators.
