7.4 A complex Brayton-cycle power plant using intercooling, reheat, and regeneration is analyzed using the air standard method. Air is compressed from State 1 to State 2 using a compressor with a pressure ratio of RP1. An intercooler is used to cool the air to State 3 before entering a second compressor with a pressure ratio of RP2. The compressed air exits at State 4 and is preheated in a regenerator that uses the exhaust air from the low-pressure turbine. The preheated air enters the combustor at State 5 and is heated to State 6 where it enters the high-pressure turbine. The air exits the turbine at State 7 and is heated in a reheat combustor to State 8. The air expands in a low-pressure turbine to State 9 where it enters the counterflow regenerator with the effectiveness of RE. Given the specified operating conditions determine the efficiency and other values listed below.
