    Reheating increases the turbine outlet temperature by extracting excess air from the first turbine and combusting it in a second combustor, which improves the potential for regeneration and significantly increases thermal efficiency when combined with regeneration. Intercooling reduces the specific volume and compression work by cooling the gas between compression stages, though it does not significantly improve efficiency on its own but enhances regeneration potential by lowering the temperature at the compressor exit.

    1.

    REHEATING

    T3 is limited due to metallurgical


    constraints
    excess air is extracted and fed into a
    second stage combustor and turbine
    turbine outlet temperature is
    increased with reheat (T6 T4),
    therefore potential for regeneration
    is enhanced
    when reheat and regeneration are
    used together the thermal efficiency
    can increase significantly

    2. INTERCOOLING
    the work required to compress in a steady flow
    device can be reduced by compressing in stages
    cooling the gas reduces the specific volume and
    in turn the work required for compression
    by itself compression with intercooling does not
    provide a significant increase in the efficiency of
    a gas turbine because the temperature at the
    combustor inlet would require additional heat
    transfer to achieve the desired turbine inlet
    temperature
    but the lower temperature at the compressor exit
    enhances the potential for regeneration i.e. a
    larger T across the heat exchanger
