Consider a Brayton cycle with two stages of compression with intercooling, two stages of expansion with reheating and regeneration. Air enters the first stage compressor at 100 kPa and 17 °C. The pressure ratio across each compressor and each turbine is 4. Temperature at the inlet of both the compressor is same. Heat transfer in combustion chamber as well as in reheater is 300 kJ/kg. The regenerator increases the temperature of cold air by 20 °C. Calculate: a. Temperatures at all the salient points  b. Heat added and heat rejected in the cycle  c. Thermal efficiency

Question

Consider a Brayton cycle with two stages of compression with intercooling, two stages of
expansion with reheating and regeneration. Air enters the first stage compressor at 100
kPa and 17 °C. The pressure ratio across each compressor and each turbine is 4.
Temperature at the inlet of both the compressor is same. Heat transfer in combustion
chamber as well as in reheater is 300 kJ/kg. The regenerator increases the temperature of
cold air by 20 °C. Calculate:
a. Temperatures at all the salient points 
b. Heat added and heat rejected in the cycle 
c. Thermal efficiency
