A gas turbine operates in an ideal Brayton cycle of which Argon is used as the working substance. During the start of the compression, the temperature of the gas is at 340 K and pressure of 500kPa. The compression process is adiabatic with gas conditions at the outlet of 650 K and 1930 kPa. The working substance is heated and entered the turbine at 1400 K and 1930kPa and expands adiabatically to 900 K and 490kPa. Determine the compressor and turbine efficiencies, the actual compressor and turbine work, the net work of the cycle, the thermal efficiency, and the new thermal efficiency when assuming that a regenerator is installed with 85% effectiveness. Draw the schematic diagram.
