A Brayton cycle with regeneration using air as the working fluid has a pressure ration of 10. The minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycle are 303 and 1073 K. Assuming an isentropic efficiency of 87% for the compressor and 93% for the turbine and a total power output of 115 kW. The gas leaving the regenerator is 10 K cooler than the hot exhaust gases entering the regenerator. Determine the rates of heat addition and rejection to and from the gas turbin
