The following assumptions may be made:
For air: y = 1.4, Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg.K
For combustion products: y = 1.333, Cp = 1.148 kJ/kg.K
The mass flow of fuel added in the combustion chamber may be ignored when calculating
turbine performance.
No external extraction of bleed air or shaft power.
Calculate the shaft power that must be extracted from the combustion gases by the
gas generator turbine.
Give your answer in megawatts (MW).
