1. A thermodynamic analysis of a proposed Brayton cycle gas turbine yields P=
5 MW of net power production. The compressor, at an average temperature
of T. = 400°C, is driven by the turbine at an average temperature of T₁ =
1000°C by way of an L = 1m-long, d= 70mm - diameter shaft of thermal
conductivity k = 40 W/m K.

(a) Compare the steady-state conduction rate through the shaft connecting the hot
turbine to the warm compressor to the net power predicted by the thermodynamics-
based analysis.
(b) A research team proposes to scale down the gas turbine of part (a), keeping all
dimensions in the same proportions. The team assumes that the same hot and cold
temperatures exist as in part (a) and that the net power output of the gas turbine is
proportional to the overall volume of the device. Plot the ratio of the conduction through
the shaft to the net power output of the turbine over the range 0.005 m s Ls 1 m. Is a…
