Consider a power plant operating on an ideal, air-standard Brayton cycle with intercooling and reheating. Dry air enters the low-pressure compressor with a volumetric flow rate of 5 m3 /s at 100 kPa and 300 K (State 1) and exits the compressor at 316.2 kPa (State 2). Air leaving the low-pressure compressor is cooled to 300 K (State 3) using an intercooler and is then compressed to 1000 kPa (State 4) in the high-pressure compressor. Air enters the high-pressure turbine at 1000 kPa and 1400 K (State 5) and exits at 316.2 kPa (State 6). Air leaving the highpressure turbine is reheated to 1400 K (State 7) and is then expanded to 100 kPa (State 8) in the low-pressure turbine.
