Regeneration, Reheat, and Compression with Intercooling Air enters the compressor of a regenerative gas turbine with a volumetric flow rate of 3.2 × 105 ft3/min at 14.5 lbf/in.2, 77°F, and is compressed to 60 lbf/in.2 The air then passes through the regenerator and exits at 1120°R. The temperature at the turbine inlet is 1700°R. The compressor and turbine each has an isentropic efficiency of 84%. Using an air-standard analysis, calculate

(a) the thermal efficiency of the cycle.


(b) the regenerator effectiveness.


(c) the net power output, in Btu/h.
