← ScienceWhich outcome reduces efficiency in a closed Brayton cycle?
A)Aftercooler pressure drop increases stage compression
B)Turbine inlet temperature reaches design limit
C)Regenerator inefficiency reduces heat input✓
D)Compressor surge enhances working fluid recirculation
💡 Explanation
Regenerator inefficiency reduces heat addition because heat is directly rejected from the cycle; therefore, the thermal efficiency drops rather than turbine limits being reached if the heat had been internally recycled reducing external heat input.
