Abstract : pThe paper deals with the thermodynamic analysis of complex intercooled recuperated gas turbine cycle. This work is basicallynbsp;energy and exergy analysis of various components of the cycle using the energy and exergy balance approach. Perfoming energy balancenbsp;in the components helps to estimate the percentage energy loss and first law efficiency of the cycle, while exergynbsp;analysis of the cycle gives details about the irreversibi lities, percentage cxergy destroyed and second law efficiencies ofnbsp;components of the cycle. The paper analyses thenbsp;cooled gas turbine with blade cooling by using air bled from the compressornbsp;and utilization of the turbine exhaust for recuperation purpose. The estimation of exergy destruction due.to inefficienciesnbsp;of the cyclenbsp;comronents have been found for gas turbtnc exhaust gas ( 16. 95%) followed by combustion-chamber (8.30%) andbr /thereafternbsp;for gas turbine (7.70%). The sum of exergynbsp;destruction in the cycle is around 48%./p
