Air-standard assumptions:
1. The working fluid is air, which
continuously circulates in a closed loop
and always behaves as an ideal gas.
2. All the processes that make up the
cycle are internally reversible.
3. The combustion process is replaced by
a heat-addition process from an
external source.
4. The exhaust process is replaced by a
heat-rejection process that restores the
working fluid to its initial state.
Cold-air-standard assumptions: When
the working fluid is considered to be air
with constant specific heats at room
temperature (25°C).
Air-standard cycle: A cycle for which the
air-standard assumptions are applicable.

THE BRAYTON CYCLE WITH REGENERATION
An ideal Brayton cycle with regeneration has a pressure ratio of 10. Air
enters the compressor at 300 K and the turbine at 1200 K. Account for
the variation of specific heats with temperature. If the effectiveness of
the regenerator is 100 percent, determine
a) the net work output,
b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle,
c) exergy efficiency of the cycle
