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.
