Answer

No.

Work Step by Step

Since pressure an temperature are directly proprtional, the compressor would greatly increase the temperature of the air, and, because of friction and the cooling, the shaft work required in the compressor is greater than the produced in the turbine, so it's not a self-sufficient cycle. Also a constant-pressure cooling could cause air moisture to condense, resulting in erosion in the turbine.
