The turbine section of a Brayton cycle receives hot compressed air at 150 psia, 2100 °R, expands it to 15 psia and develops a gross output of 15,000 HP. Air enters the compressor section at 15 psia, 500 °R. Determine: a) mass of air required (lb./s), b) compressor power required (HP), c) Net power output (HP), d) thermal efficiency.

Question
The turbine section of a Brayton cycle receives hot compressed air at 150 psia, 2100 R,
expands it to 15 psia and develops a gross output of 15,000 HP. Air enters the compressor section at
15 psia, 500 °R. Determine: a) mass of air required (Ib./s), b) compressor power required (HP), c) Net
power output (HP), d) thermal efficiency.
