Why is the cycle efficiency higher in the intercooled-recuperated cycle as compared to a simple cycle gas turbine? Illustration GT-0026

Question

Accepted Answer

The intercooler serves to reduce the required high-pressure compressor power while the recuperator utilizes waste heat from the exhaust to decrease required fuel to achieve the turbine inlet temperature.
