Air enters the compressor of a regenerative gasturbine engine at 310 K and 100 kPa, where it is compressed to 900 kPa and 650 K. The regenerator has an effectiveness of 80 percent, and the air enters the turbine at 1400 K. For a turbine efficiency of 90 percent, determine the thermal efficiency. Assume variable specific heats for air.
What is the cutoff ratio? How does it affect the thermal efficiency of a Diesel cycle?
