A Regenerative Gas-Turbine cycle operates under pressure ratio of 9. The compressor inlet conditions are 18°C and 1 bar and its efficiency is 85%. The thermal ration of the heat exchanger is 80%. Heat is added to the compressed air after leaving the heat exchanger till its temperature became 9000C. The air then expands adiabatically in a 75% efficient turbine. If the air mass flow rate not exceeds 10 kg/s, determine the rate of heat added, the turbine work, the back work ratio, and the cycle thermal efficiency.

An ideal gas turbine cycle consisting of 2 stages of compression and 2 stages of expansion has an overall pressure ratio of 9. Air enters the compressors at the temperature of 320 K while, being intercooled between the stages. Air enters the first compressor at 100 kPa and the pressure ratio of each of the compressors are selected in a way that minimizes the total power input for the compressors. The high-pressure turbine (First one) drives the compressors and the low-pressure one produces power output. The compressors and both the high-pressure and low-pressure turbines can be assumed ideal. To increase the efficiency of the cycle a regenerator with effectiveness of 85% is used to recover some heat from the exhaust of the second turbine. In this cycle, air with the temperature of 1400 K enters the first turbine. After expansion in the first turbine, air is reheated to the same temperature at the inlet of the first turbine (1400 K).
