Air enters the compressor at 100 kPa, 300 K and is compressed to1000 kPa. The temperature at the inlet to the first turbine stageis 1400 K. The expansion takes place isentropically in two stages,with reheat to 1400 K between the stages at a constant pressure of300 kPa. A regenerator having an effectiveness of 100% is alsoincorporated into the cycle. The turbine and the compressor eachhave am isentropic efficiency of 80%. Determine the following:
(a.) the thermal efficiency of the cycle
(b.) the back work ratio
(c) the net power developed
