A diesel fuel with a heating value of 42,000 kJ/kg is burned in the combustion chamber with a combustion efficiency of 97 percent. The combustion qgases leave the combustion chamber at 871 °C and enter the turbine whose isentropic efficiency is 85 percent. Using variable specific heats to determine (a) the second-law efficiencies of the compressor, the turbine, and the regenerator, (b) the rate of the energy flow with the combustion gases at the regenerator exit, and (c) the entropy generation and exergy destruction through the regenerator and combustion chamber.
