Transcribed Image Text:## Brayton Cycle in a Turbine Engine
### The Process
The process of burning fuel in a turbine engine can be modeled by a heat engine that utilizes a Brayton Cycle. The Brayton Cycle consists of the following steps:
1. **Adiabatic Compression**
2. **Isobaric Expansion due to Heating**
3. **Adiabatic Expansion**
4. **Isobaric Compression**
### Given Conditions
Consider a turbine that starts with:
- **Initial Pressure**: \( P_1 = 101,325 \, \text{Pa} \)
- **Initial Volume**: \( V = 2.0 \, \text{m}^3 \)
- **Initial Temperature**: \( T_1 = 300.0 \, \text{K} \)
**Process:**
- The gas is compressed adiabatically to a pressure \( P_2 = 1,013,250 \, \text{Pa} \).
- The gas then expands isobarically via heating.
- Finally, the gas expands adiabatically to a pressure \( P_4 = 101,325 \, \text{Pa} \).
### Tasks
#### a) Draw a PV Diagram
- Create a PV diagram for one cycle of this heat engine.
- Label the step with \( Q_h \) (heat addition).
- Label the step with \( Q_c \) (heat rejection).
- Mark the initial point, second point, third point, and fourth point.
#### b) Determine the Quantities
Find the values of:
- \( V_2, V_3, V_4 \)
- \( T_2, T_3, T_4 \)
#### c) Work Done from Points 1 to 2
Calculate the work done during the adiabatic compression from point 1 to point 2.
#### d) Work Done from Points 3 to 4
Calculate the work done during the adiabatic expansion from point 3 to point 4.
#### e) Power Output
If the engine operates at \( 465 \, \text{rev/min} \), determine its power output.
