Air enters the compressor of an ideal air standard Brayton cycle at 100 kPa and 300 K, with a volumetric ow rate of 5 m3 /s. The compressor pressure ratio is 10. The turbine inlet temperature is 1400 K. Determine: (a) The thermal efciency of the cycle (b) The back work ratio (c) The net power developed in, kW [Hints: To solve the questions, you may use either the ideal gas table for air, or use the cold air standard assumptions meaning a constant specic heat, cp = 1.004 kJ/kgK and = 1.4]

Reconsider the question 1, but include in the analysis that the turbine and compressor each have an isentropic efciency of 80%. Determine for the modied cycle: (a) The thermal efciency of the cycle (b) The back work ratio (c) The net power developed in, kW

A regenerator is incorporated in the cycle of the question 2. Determine: (a) The thermal efciency of the cycle (b) The back work ratio (c) The net power developed in, kW

Air enters the compressor at 100 kPa, 300 K and is compressed to 1 MPa. The temperature at the rst turbine stage is 1400 K. The expansion takes place isentropically in two stages, with reheat to 1400 K between the stages at a constant pressure of 300 kPa. A regenerator having an effectiveness of 100% is also incorporated in the cycle. Determine the thermal efciency. Air is compressed from 100 kPa, 300 kPa to 1 MPa in a two-stage compressor with intercooling between stages. The intercooler pressure is 300 kPa. The air is cooled back to 300 kPa in the intercooler before entering the second compressor. Each compressor stage is isentropic. For steady-state operation and negligible changes in kinetic and potential energy from the inlet to exit, determine: (a) The temperature at the exit of the second compressor stage (b) The total compressor work input per unit mass ow (c) Repeat for a single stage of compression from the given inlet state to the nal pressure

A regenerative gas turbine with intercooling and reheat operate at steady state. Air enters the compressor at 100 kPa, 300 K with a mass ow rate of 5.807 kg/s. The pressure ratio across the two-stage compressor is 10. The pressure ratio across the two-stage turbine is also 10. The intercooler and reheater each operates at 300 kPa. At the inlets to the turbine stages, the temperature is 1400 K. The temperature at the inlet to the second compressor stage is 300 K. The isentropic efciency of each compressor and turbine stage is 80%. The regenerative effectiveness is 80%. Determine: (a) The thermal efciency of the cycle (b) The back work ratio (c) The net power developed in, kW

A regenerative gas turbine power plant is shown in Fig. 1. Air enters the compressor at 1 bar, 27 Cwith a mass ow rate of 0.562 kg/s and is compressed to 4 bar. The isentropic efciency of the compressor is 80%, and the regenerator effectiveness is 90%. All the power developed by the high-pressure turbine is used to run the compressor. The low-pressure turbine provides the net power output. Each turbine has an isentropic efciency of 87% and the temperature at the inlet to the high-pressure turbine is 1200 K. Determine: (a) The net power developed in, kW (b) The thermal efciency of the cycle (c) The temperature of the air at state 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7, in K.
