A gas turbine power plant operating on an ideal Brayton cycle has a pressure ratio of 8.8. The inlet to the compressor is at a pressure of 100kPa and a temperature of 320K. Assume air-standard assumptions, an isentropic compressor, but variable specific heats. Determine the work required, per unit mass of air, to drive the compressor. Enter the answer as a positive value, expressed in units of kJ/kg, to 1 dp [Do not include the units]

Moment of Inertia

Inertia can be termed as a resistance offered by a body to change its state. A rigid body initially at rest will apply resistance when acted by an external force that tends to change its state of rest or velocity, or a body initially at motion will provide resistance in changing its state of velocity or motion for coming to a state of rest. In other words, Newton's first law of motion describes the law of inertia of a rigid body.
