Air enters the compressor of a regenerative air-standard Brayton cycle at 14 lbf/in2, 520◦R. The compressor pressure ratio is 14 and the turbine inlet temperature is 2500◦R. The compressor and turbine have isentropic efficiencies of 83 and 87 %, respectively. The net power developed is 5×106Btu/h. For regenerator effectiveness values ranging from 0 to 100% plot (a) the thermal efficiency. (b) the percent decrease in heat addition to the air.
