Question:

A simple ideal Brayton cycle without regeneration is modified to incorporate multistage compression with intercooling and multistage expansion with reheating, without changing the pressure or temperature limits of the cycle. As a result of these two modifications,
(a) Does the net work output increase, decrease, or remain the same?
(b) Does the back work ratio increase, decrease, or remain the same?
(c) Does the thermal efficiency increase, decrease, or remain the same?
(d) Does the heat rejected increase, decrease, or remain the same?
