The INCORRECT statement about regeneration in vapor power cycle is that

1. it increases the irreversibility by adding the liquid with higher energy content to the steam generator
2. heat is exchanged between the expanding fluid in the turbine and the compressed fluid before heat addition
3. the principle is similar to the principle of Stirling gas cycle
4. it is practically implemented by providing feed water heaters
