*Please use the correct data* A gas turbine, which uses air as the working fluid, is designed with a regenerator. The air enters the compressor at 100kPa and T1C. The compressor ratio is 9 and the maximum cycle temperature is 900C at point 4. The air flow leaving the regenerator at 6 is 11C cooler than the hot air flow at the regenerator inlet at point 5. Considering that the compressor has an efficiency of 0.75 and the turbine of 0.77, additionally the cycle produces a net power of 140 kW, calculate what is requested, considering the development of a detailed and commented calculation sample. A) The powers in kW of the compressor and turbine, the added heat.
B) The effectiveness of the regenerator and the efficiency of the cycle.
C) If the pressure ratio were doubled, what would be the previous results.
D) How the efficiency of the cycle could be improved, perform the analysis and corresponding calculations that support the results.
