. Compare the thermal efficiency of a two-stage gas turbine with regeneration, reheating and intercooling to that of a three-stage gas turbine with the same equipment when (a) all components operate ideally, (b) air enters the first compressor at 100 kPa and 20°C, (c) the total pressure ratio across all stages of compression is 16, and (d) the maximum cycle temperature is 800°C. Tips: The pressure ratio across each stage or r_p=〖(pressure ratio)〗^((1/(number of stages)))
