A simple ideal Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid has a pressure ratio of 10. The air enters the compressor at 520 R and the turbine at 2000 R. Assuming the variation of specific heats with temperature is constant at room temperature., determine (a) the air temperature at the compressor exit, (b) the back work ratio, and (c) the thermal efficiency.
