Air enters the compressor of a cold air-standard Brayton cycle with regeneration at 100 kPa, 300 K, with a volume flow rate of 5 m3/s. The compressor pressure ratio is 13, and the turbine inlet temperature is 1400 K. The turbine and compressor each have isentropic efficiencies of 80% and the regenerator effectiveness is 80%. For the air, k = 1.4 and the ambient temperature is T0 = 300 K. Calculate
a) Thermal efficiency for the cycle
b) Back work ratio
c) Net power
d) Rate of exergy destruction in the regenerator for t0=300K
