A gas turbine has two stages of ideal compression with intercooling in between and two stages of turbine with reheating in between. The air enters the first compressor at 90 kPa and 15°C and the total pressure ratio across each compressor and turbine is 3.5. The total rate of heat addition is 500 kJ/s and the air temperature is increased by 28°C in the regenerator. Calculate the power produced by each turbine, the power consumed by cach compressor, and the rate of heat rejection. Use constant specific heats at room temperature. i) Draw the T-s, diagrams and a schematic of the mechanism, ii) Calculate the power produced by each turbine ii) Determine the power consumed by each compressor

A gas turbine has two stages of ideal compression with intercooling in between and two stages of
turbine with reheating in between. The air enters the first compressor at 90 kPa and 15°C and the
total pressure ratio across each compressor and turbine is 3.5. The total rate of heat addition is
500 kJ/s and the air temperature is increased by 28°C in the regenerator. Calculate the power
produced by each turbine, the power consumed by each compressor, and the rate of heat
rejection. Use constant specific heats at room temperature.
i)
Draw the T-s, diagrams and a schematic of the mechanism,
ii)
Calculate the power produced by each turbine
iii)
Determine the power consumed by each compressor
iv)
Calculate the thermal efficiency.
(Take C, and C, as constant)
