Question: Consider a gas turbine engine operating on a Brayton cycle with a regenerator. Air enters the compressor of this engine at 1 0 0 kPa

Consider a gas turbine engine operating on a Brayton cycle with a regenerator. Air enters the compressor of this engine at 100 kPa and 30 oC. The compressor pressure ratio is 10; the maximum cycle temperature is 800 oC; and the cold air stream leaves the regenerator 10 oC cooler than the hot air stream at the inlet of the regenerator. Assume both the compressor and the turbine to be isentropic.(a) Sketch the T-s diagram for the cycle (b) determine the rates of heat addition and rejection for this cycle when it produces 115 kW. Answers: 258 kW,143 kW
