- A simple ideal Brayton cycle operates with air with minimum and maximum temperatures of 27°C and 727°C. It is designed so that the maximum cycle pressure is 2000 kPa and the minimum cycle pressure is 100 kPa. The isentropic efficiencies of the turbine and compressor are 91% and 80%, respectively, and there is a 50 kPa pressure drop across the combustion chamber. Determine the net work produced per unit mass of air each time this cycle is executed and the cycle’s thermal efficiency. Use constant specific heats at room temperature. The properties of air at room temperature are cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·K and k = 1.4. The fluid flow through the cycle is in a clockwise direction from point 1 to 4. Heat Q sub in is given to a component between points 2 and 3 of the cycle. Heat Q sub out is given out by a component between points 1 and 4. An arrow from the turbine labeled as W sub net points to the right. The net work produced per unit mass of air is kJ/kg. The thermal efficiency is %.arrow_forwardSteam enters the high-pressure turbine of a steam power plant that operates on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle at 700 psia and 900°F and leaves as saturated vapor. Steam is then reheated to 800°F before it expands to a pressure of 1 psia. Heat is transferred to the steam in the boiler at a rate of 6 × 104 Btu/s. Steam is cooled in the condenser by the cooling water from a nearby river, which enters the condenser at 45°F. Use steam tables. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Determine the pressure at which reheating takes place. Use steam tables.

Ignoring kinetic and potential energy effects, determine: (a) the dew point temperature at the inlet, in °C. (b) the mass flow rate of moist air at the exit, in kg/min.
