Air enters the compressor of an ideal air-standard Brayton cycle at 100 kPa, 300K and is compressed to 1000 kPa. The temperature at the inlet to the first turbine is 1400 K. The expansion takes place isentropically in two stages with reheat to 1400 K between the two stages at a constant pressure of 300kPa. A regenerator having an effectiveness of 100% is also incorporated in the cycle. Determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
