open cycle gas turbine employs a regenerative arrangement. The air enters the compressor at 1 bar and 288° K and is compressed to 10 bar with a compression efficiency of 85%. The air is heated in regenerator and then in combustion chamber till its temperature is raised to 1700° K and during the process the pressure falls by 0.2 bar. The air is then expanded in the turbine and passes to regenerator which has 75% effectiveness and cause a pressure drop of 0.2 bar. The isentropic efficiency of turbine is 86%. By sketching the gas turbine system and showing the process on T S diagram. Calculate thermal efficiency and power output if mass flow rate of air is 100 kg/sec. Take mechanical and alternator efficiency as 98%
