This is problem 8-11 from El-Wakil’s Powerplant Technology book -- a combustion Brayton cycle uses 200 percent of theoretical air. The cycle has an inlet temperature of 500 degRankine. The compression ratios in the compressor and turbine are assumed equal to 9. One stage of intercooling and one stage of reheat are used. Assume that all rotary machines have efficiencies of 0.85. A 0.85 effective regenerator is used. Calculate the net work of the cycle and the overall efficiency, using the gas tables.
