Question: Consider an ideal gas-turbine cycle with one stage of compression and two stages of expansion and regeneration. The pressure ratio across each turbine stage is

Consider an ideal gas-turbine cycle with one stage of compression and two stages of expansion and regeneration. The pressure ratio across each turbine stage is the same. The high-pressure turbine exhaust gas enters the regenerator and then enters the low-pressure turbine for expansion to the compressor inlet pressure. Determine the thermal efficiency of this cycle as a function of the compressor pressure ratio and the high-pressure turbine to compressor inlet temperature ratio. Compare your result with the efficiency of the standard regenerative cycle.
