Question

Reheating in a gas turbine increases the thermal efficiency increases the compressor work increases the turbine work decreases the thermal efficiency

Answer 1

Answer:

The reheat cycle increases the turbine work and consequently the net work of the cycle. ... By reasoning similar to that used in connection with intercooling, it can be seen that the thermal efficiency of a simple cycle is lowered by the addition of reheating, whereas the work output is increased.
