Design a Brayton cycle (with any additional components you choose) that has a compressor inlet condition of air entering at 100 kPa and 20°C and a maximum allowable pressure and temperature of 1500 kPa and 1400 K, respectively. The turbine and compressor both have isentropic efficiencies of 0.80. The cycle should have a high thermal efficiency. For a mass flow rate of 25 kg/s, determine the net power produced and the thermal efficiency of the cycle, justifying your choices or air properties and components. You may use either constant or variable specific heats in your analysis.
