However, the increase in entropy results in the decrease in efficiency.
Furthermore to using a reheat cycle on its own is that it has no effect
on the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine engine so

unaffected (as shown in figure 2-5). This can be shown using the
equation below. Therefore the cost to integrate a reheater alone cannot
be justified for the small increase in
