Air enters the compressor at 100 kPa, 300 K and is compressed to 1000 kPa. The temperature at the inlet to the first turbine stage is 1400 K. The expansion takes place isentropically in two stages, with reheat to 1400 K between the stages at a constant pressure of 300 kPa. A regenerator having an effectiveness of 100% is also incorporated into the cycle. The turbine and the compressor each have 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
