ANSWER SHOULD BE: 258 kW, 143 kWPLEASE SHOW THE STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION
As a car gets older, will its compression ratio change? How about the mean effective pressure?
The 7FA gas turbine manufactured by General Electric is reported to have an efficiency of 35.9 percent in the simple-cycle mode and to produce 159 MW of net power. The pressure ratio is 14.7 and the turbine inlet temperature is 1288°C. The mass flow rate through the turbine is 1,536,000 kg/h.
Taking the ambient conditions to be 20°C and 100 kPa, determine:
(a) the isentropic efficiency of the turbine and the compressor,
(b) the thermal efficiency of this gas turbine if a regenerator with an effectiveness of 80 percent is added.
Answers: (a) 0.849, 0.924 (b) 0.496
