A gas turbine operates on a Joule cycle and has a pressure ratio of 6/1 and a maximum temperature of 727°C. The ambient temperature is 15°C and the isentropic efficiencies of the compressor and turbine are 85 % and 90 % respectively. Take Y and C, for both the compression and expansion process as 1.4 and 1.005 respectively, a) Sketch the schematic diagram of the gas turbine plant and its processes on a T-s diagram. b) Calculate, for the cycle, i) the specific work output, and ii) the thermal efficiency. 4.
