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 cach
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). You can consider constant specific heats of c,=1.005…
