Question

A gas turbine power plant is operated between 1 bar and 9 bar pressures,
and minimum and maximum cycle temperatures are 27°C and 1127°C.
Compression is carried out in two stages with intercooling such that the
temperature of the air entering each stage of the compressor are equal. The
gases coming out from H.P.T turbine are heated to 1127°C before entering
L.P. turbine. The expansions in both turbines are arranged in such a way
that the first stage develops work twice the second stage. Assuming
compressors and turbines isentropic efficiencies are 82%. Determine the
cycle efficiency assuming ideal regenerator.
