|The typical cruising altitude of a commercial jet airliner is 10,700 m above
sea level where the local atmospheric temperature is 219 K, and the pressure
is 0.25 bar. The aircraft utilizes a cold air-standard Brayton cycle as shown
with a volume flow rate of 1450 m³/s. The compressor pressure ratio is 50,
and the maximum cycle temperature is 1700 K. The compressor and turbine
isentropic efficiencies are 90%. Neglect kinetic and potential energy effects
in this problem. Assume constant specific heats with k=1.4, Ra=0.287 kJ/kg-
K, Cp=1.0045 kJ/kg-K, and cv = 0.7175 kJ/kg-K.
