(3).
A gas turbine unit consists of a compressor, combustion chamber, turbine
and heat exchanger. The unit has a pressure ratio of 6:1 and a maximum
cycle temperature of 600°C. The isentropic efficiencies of the compressor and
turbine are 0.8 and 0.85 respectively.
The air enters the compressor at 15°C at a rate of 17kg/s. the heat exchanger
effectiveness is 80%. If the compressor and turbine are connected by a rigid
shaft, calculate:
(a). the net power
(b). the thermal efficiency
(c). the thermal efficiency with the heat exchanger bypassed.
