A gas turbine power plant operates on a simple Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid. The air enters the turbine at 1 MPa and 1000 K and leaves at 125 kPa, 610 K. Heat is rejected to the surroundings at a rate of 8000 kW and the airflow rate is 25 kg/s. Assuming a compressor efficiency of 80%, determine (a) the net power output. Use the PG model for air. (b) What-if Scenario: What would the net power output be if the compressor efficiency dropped to 75%?

Forming and Shaping

Metal forming is a category of metalworking process through which the material can be given the desired shape and size by subjecting it to plastic deformation, where the component undergoes bulk deformation process upon application of loads. Unlike the shearing and machining process, the material does not undergo up to a failure point as indicated in the stress-strain curve. Hence, the stresses induced during the forming process are greater than yield strength but less than the failure strength of the material. The process does not lead to the loss of material, so it can be said to be an economical process. During forming, the material is subjected to tensile forces, compressive forces, bending, and shearing loading conditions. The material should possess the property of ductility to undergo the forming process.
