A gas-turbine cycle produces net power of 52 MW. Air enters the compressor at 12 oC and 100 kPa. The pressure ratio across the compressor is 12. The highest temperature in the cycle is 1200 K. The turbine and the compressor work with efficiency of 85%. The cycle also includes a regenerator with an effectiveness of 80%. Assuming constant specific heats at room temperature;

a) Draw the cycle and show the T-s diagrams of the cycle,

b) Find the thermal efficiency of the cycle,

c) Determine the mass flow rate of air
