Q1. A The gas-turbine cycle shown in Fig. is used as an automotive engine. In the first
turbine, the gas expands to pressure Ps, just low enough for this turbine to drive the
compressor. The gas is then expanded through the second turbine connected to the
drive wheels. The data for the engine are shown in the figure, and assume that all
processes are ideal. Determine the intermediate pressure Ps, the net specific work
output of the engine, and the mass flow rate through the engine. Find also the air
temperature entering the burner T3 and the thermal efficiency of the engine.
