Malakoff Corporation Berhad has just developed a new power plant in Seri Iskandar, Perak.

The new power plant that operates on an air-standard Brayton Cycle has a minimum temperature of 400 K and maximum temperature of 1100 K.

In an effort to save a greater amount of fuel, a regenerator is proposed to be constructed since it can preheat the air to a higher temperature prior to combustion although the temperature is usually slightly lower than outlet temperature of a turbine.

As a process engineer, you have been tasked to suggest a pressure ratio and check the applicability of the regenerator to the Brayton cycle.

Prepare a report that consists of suitable assumptions, justification on the implementation of the regenerator and regenerative cycle thermal efficiency calculation and draw a conclusion on your finding. Have to assume the rp and efficiency
