Gas turbines used for power generation sometimes employ intercooling. show on a t-s diagram a typical gas turbine cycle employing intercooling. intercooling is done to improve plant efficiency. however it does mean the compressed air enters the combustion chamber colder than without intercooling. explain how that can still lead to increased thermal efficiency.

Refrigerant-134a enters the compressor of a refrigerator as superheated vapor at 0.14 mpa and -10°c at a rate of 0.05 ka/s and leaves at 0.8 mpa and 50°c. the refrigerant is cooied in the condenser to 0.72 mpa and 26'c. it is then throttled to 0.15 mpa. sketch the t-s diagram for the system and evaluate: 6) the rate of heat removai from the refrigerated space (kw), it) the power input to the compressor (kw), ii) the isentropic efficiency of the compressor (%), and iv) the cop of the refrigerator.
