In a gas turbine with two-stage compression and expansion, the
total pressure ratio is 12. Air enters the compressor at a
temperature of 320 K and the turbine at a temperature of 1320 K.
The isanthropic efficiency of the compressors is 75%, the
efficiency of the turbines is 87% and the regenerator is 78%.
Considering the change of specific temperatures with
temperature;
a) back work rate,
b) calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
