A two stage compressor with intercooling between the stages is used to compress air from 1 bar and 15°C to 9 bar in a Gas- Turbine cycle. The high pressure turbine drives the compressor whereas low pressure turbine is coupled with an electrical generator. The compressor and turbine efficiencies are 85%; 75%, respectively. Heat is added to the compressed air after leaving the compressor till its temperature reaches 900°C. The air then expands in HPT to an intermediate pressure and reheat to the 900°C before expanding another time in LPT to 1 bar. Find the intermediate pressure, the turbine work, the back work ratio, and the cycle thermal efficiency. Assume 15 kg/s air

Question
A two stage compressor with intercooling between the stages is
used to compress air from 1 bar and 15°C to 9 bar in a Gas-
Turbine cycle. The high pressure turbine drives the compressor
whereas low pressure turbine is coupled with an electrical
generator. The compressor and turbine efficiencies are 85%;
75%, respectively. Heat is added to the compressed air after
leaving the compressor till its temperature reaches 900°C. The
air then expands in HPT to an intermediate pressure and
reheat to the 900°C before expanding another time in LPT to 1
bar. Find the intermediate pressure, the turbine work, the back
work ratio, and the cycle thermal efficiency. Assume 15 kg/s air
flow rate.
