A heat exchanger is then fitted between the compressor and the combustion chamber and has an effectiveness of 80%. Heat is added in the combustion chamber until a temperature of 910°C is reached. The gas is then expanded down to 98kPa in a turbine with an isentropic efficiency of 87%. If the mass flow-rat- of the air is 7.5kg/s and the calorific value of the fuel 42MJ/kg. The compressor is rigidly connected to the turbine. Calculate: (a). net work (b). cycle thermal efficiency (c). net power (d). air-fuel ratio (e), specific fuel consumption in kg/kWh
