Air is used as the working fluid in a Brayton cycle with a regenerator. The pressure ratio of the cycle is 8, the compressor inlet temperature is 300 K, the turbine inlet temperature is 1800 K. The efficiency of the regenerator is 75 percent. If the isentropic efficiency of the compressor and turbine is 80 percent, since 60 MW net power is obtained from the cycle, determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle and the required air mass flow rate.
