- THIS paper-relates to the recovery of energy from the exhaust gas of aircraft reciprocating engines by means of the exhaust jet, the steady-flow turbine, and the blowdown turbine.The performance of a reciprocating engine compounded with these energy-recovery devices is discussed in detail.The operating conditions for maximum performance are presented, and the effects of engine cooling and knock limit on these conditions are considered.A comparison is made of the overall weight of the engine plus fuel for the various exhaust energy-recovery systems at several operating conditions and durations.
