Question

Air enters the compressor of an ideal air-standard Brayton cycle at 88 kPa, 280 K, with a volumetric flow rate of 1225 m3/s. The compressor pressure ratio is 12. The turbine inlet temperature is 1225 K.

Take Specific heat at constant pressure and constant volume for air as 1.006 kJ/kg K and  0.717 kJ/kg K respectively.

Calculate the thermal efficiency of the plant to one decimal place and include the correct unit (percentage).

Use cold air standard assumption
