COP R = q L w comp,in − w turb,out = h 1 − h 6 ( h 2 − h 1 ) + ( h 4 − h 3 ) − ( h 5 − h 6 ) = T 1 − T 6 ( T 2 − T 1 ) + ( T 4 − T 3 ) − ( T 5 − T 6 ) (VII) Here, heat lost is q L , power input to compressor is w comp,in , power rejected out from turbine is w turb,out , specific enthalpy at state 1, 2, 3 4, 5 and 6 is h 1 , h 2 , h 3 , h 4 , h 5 and h 6 respectively, temperature at state 1,2 ,3, 4, 5 and 6 is T 1 , T 2 , T 3 , T 4 , T 5 and T 6 respectively. Express the mass flow rate of the air. m ˙ = Q ˙ refrig c p ( T 1 − T 6 ) (VIII) Here, rate of refrigeration rate is Q ˙ refrig and specific heat at constant pressure of air is c p . Conclusion: Perform unit conversion of temperature at state 1 3, and 5 from ° C to K . T 1 = − 24 °C = ( − 24 + 273 ) K = 249 K T 3 = 5 °C = ( 5 + 273 ) K = 278 K T 5 = 5 °C = ( 5 + 273 ) K = 278 K Refer Table A-2, “ideal gas specific heats of various common gas”, and write the properties of air. c p = 1.005 kJ / kg ⋅ K k = 1.4 Substitute 249 K for T 1 , 3 for P 2 / P 1 and 1.4 for k in Equation (I). T 2 s = ( 249 K ) ( 3 ) ( 1.4 − 1 ) / 1

ANSWER SHOULD BE: 258 kW, 143 kWPLEASE SHOW THE STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION

For a specified pressure ratio, why does multistage compression with intercooling decrease the compressor work, and multistage expansion with reheating increase the turbine work?

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
