A scheme is described for the recovery of waste heat from stacks of gas turbine engines by means of heat‐pipe loops. The recovered energy is supplied to an absorption chiller that cools the intake air of the gas turbine engine to enhance its performance. Mathematical expressions are introduced which accurately portray existing tabulated thermophysical properties data for those variables needed during the modelling of the said system.
