Question

Air enters the compressor of a cold air-standard Brayton cycle with regeneration at 90 kPa, 293 K, with a mass flow rate of 6 kg/s. The compressor pressure ratio is 10, and the turbine inlet temperature is 1300 K. The turbine and the compressor each have isentropic efficiencies of 85% and the regenerator effectiveness is 85%. Assume constant specific heats, take k = 1.4 and CP = 1.005 kJ/kgK.

3.2.1 Represent the cycle on a T – s diagram. Calculate:

  1. 3.2.2  the thermal efficiency of the cycle,

  2. 3.2.3  the back work ratio, and

  3. 3.2.4  the net power developed, in kW.
