Air enters the compressor of an ideal air-standard Brayton cycle at 100 kPa, 27°C, with a volumetric flow rate of 5 m³/s. The compressor pressure ratio is 10:1. The turbine inlet temperature is 1127°C. Both turbine and compressor operate with 80% efficiency. Using appropriate assumptions, evaluate; (i) (ii) (iii) the thermal efficiency of the cycle; the back work ratio; and the net power developed (kW).
