Efficiency of gas turbine units with Zoticov’s and Uvarov’s cycles

The usage of thermodynamic Zoticov’s cycle and Uvarov’s cycle as a possible way of increasing the efficiency of gas turbine units (GTU) is discussed. The merits and drawbacks of such multielement power plants with internal cooling during the compression and reheating during the expansion processes are evaluated. The expediency of such GTU development for different energetics branches is shown.
