Question:

A gas turbine operates with a regenerator and two stages of reheating and intercooling. Air enters this engine at 14 psia and 60°F, the pressure ratio for each stage of compression is 3, the air temperature when entering a turbine is 940°F, the engine produces 1000 hp, and the regenerator operates perfectly. The isentropic efficiency of each compressor is 88 percent and that of each turbine is 93 percent. Which process of the cycle loses the greatest amount of work potential? The temperature of the heat source is the same as the maximum cycle temperature, and the temperature of the heat sink is the same as the minimum cycle temperature. Use constant specific heats at room temperature.
