Question

Consider the operation of the ideal Brayton cycle with a regenerator. The maximum temperature in the cycle is set.  What happens with increasing pressure ratio?

Group of answer choices
The amount of heat added in the cycle up to a point will decrease with net work output remaining the same and thermal efficiency will increase.
Thermal efficiency will increase
Compressor exit temperature will increase with turbine exit temperature remaining the same. When the two temperatures are equal, the benefit of the regenerator will be zero.
Thermal efficiency will decrease
