Regeneration can only increase the efficiency of a brayton cycle when working fluid leaving the turbine is hotter than the working fluid leaving the compressor a. true b. false

True, Regeneration is the only process where increases the efficiency of a Brayton cycle when working fluid leaving the turbine is hotter than working fluid leaving the compressor.

Option: A

Explanation:

To increase the efficiency of brayton cycle there are three ways which includes inter-cooling, reheating and regeneration. Regeneration technique is used when a turbine exhaust fluids have higher temperature than the working fluid leaving the compressor of the turbine.

Thermal efficiency of a turbine is increased as the exhaust fluid having higher temperatures are used in heat exchanger where the fluids from the compressor enters and increases the temperature of the fluids leaving the compressor.
