15. To improve thermal efficiency, a gas turbine uses a two-stage compression and one intercooler. Assume ideal processes and isentropic compression to show that the compressor work is at a minimum when the two compressors have identi- cal compression ratios. Gas enters both compressors at the same temperature.
