A Brayton cycle produces 14 MW with an inlet state of 17°C, 100 kPa, and a compression ratio of 16:1. The heat added in the combustion is 960 kJ/kg. 0.7 MW of heat transferred from the turbine to the environment. What are the highest temperature and the mass flow rate of air? Assume cold air properties.
. A gas turbine with air enters the compressor at 300 K, 1 bar, and exits from the turbine at 750 K, 1 bar. The thermal efficiency of the cycle is 40.1% and the back work ratio (BWR) is 0.4. Find the pressure ratio of the cycle. Assume variable specific heat.
A regenerative gas turbine power plant is shown in Fig. below. Air enters the compressor at 1 bar, 27°C with a mass flow rate of 0.562 kg/s and is compressed to 4 bar. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 80%, and the regenerator effectiveness is 90%. All the power developed by the high-pressure turbine is used to run the compressor. The low-pressure turbine provides the net power output. Each turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 87% and the temperature at the inlet to the highpressure turbine is 1200 K. Assume cold air properties, determine: a. The net power output, in kW. b. The thermal efficiency of the cycle.
