A reheat regenerative steam power cycle, high-pressure turbine receives superheated steam at 6 MPa and 450°C, and exhausted to the reheater at 2 MPa. The reheated steam enters the low-pressure turbine at 2MPa and exits to condenser at 0.01 MPa with entropy of 7.129 kJ/kq.K. Steam extracted to an open FWH at 3 MPa, and to a closed FWH at 1 MPa.

A power plant uses a gas turbine to produce electricity. Assume that the gas-turbine operates on the ideal Brayton cycle has a pressure ratio of 8. The outside air temperature is 27 C and without preheating, the air is drawn into the compressor. The air compressed in the compressor and its pressure and temperature increase. Thereafter it is supplied into the combustion chamber where its temperature increases to 1023 C at constant pressure. Thereafter, hot air is drawn into the turbine. By considering the air-standard assumptions, determine (a) the gas temperature at the exits of the compressor and the turbine (b) the back work ratio (c) the thermal efficiency
