Consider a Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid
The pressure ratio in the compressor is 15. The maximum temperature is
1700 K
The compressor efficiency is 0.85
The turbine efficiency is 0.87
The inlet temperature is 300 K
Inlet stagnation pressure is 100 kPa
There is a 5% drop in pressure in the combustor.
Will a regenerator increase the efficiency of this engine?
Assume variable specific heats.
Check all that is correct.
It will as long as the ideal compressor exit temperature is higher than the ideal
turbine exit temperature.
O No the regenerator will causes pressure drops droppinng power out put and
dropping thermal efficiency.
It will as long as the actual compressor exit temperature is lower than the
actual turbine exit temperature.
O Yes because the turbine exit enthalpy is above the compressor exit enthalpy
