Question: Problem 2 . ( 1 5 pts ) Consider an air - standard Brayton cycle with regeneration as shown. Air enters the compressor at 1

Problem 2.(15 pts)
Consider an air-standard Brayton cycle with regeneration as shown. Air enters the compressor at 100F and 14.7lbfin2. The compressor pressure ratio is 14 and the maximum temperature in the cycle is 2540F. Assuming an isentropic process in the compressor, an isentropic compression efficiency in the turbine of 90% and a regenerator efficiency of 80%,
a) Show the cycle on a T-s diagram then calculate:
b) the net power output per unit mass of air,
c) the thermal efficiency of the cycle, and
d) the thermal efficiency of the cycle without the regenerator.
Notes: 1. To get full credit, you need to assume air ideal gas with constant specific heats (i.e cold-air standard analysis) The properties of air at room temperature are cv=0.171 Btu/bm *R,cp=0.240Btubm*R,k=1.4, and Gas Constant R=0.0685Btubm*R
