The 7FA gas turbine manufactured by General Electric is reported to have an efficiency of 35.9 percent in the simple-cycle mode and to produce 159 MW of net power. The pressure ratio is 14.7 and the turbine inlet temperature is 1288°C. The mass flow rate through the turbine is 1,536,000 kg/h. Taking the ambient conditions to be 30°C and 100 kPa, determine the isentropic efficiency of the turbine and the compressor. Also, determine the thermal efficiency of this gas turbine if a regenerator with, an effectiveness of 65 percent is added.
