- Exhaust gases from the turbine of a simple Brayton cycle are quite hot and may be used for other thermal purposes. One proposed use is generating saturated steam at 110°C from water at 30°C in a boiler. This steam will be distributed to several buildings on a college campus for space heating. A Brayton cycle with a pressure ratio of 6 is to be used for this purpose. Plot the power produced, the flow rate of produced steam, and the maximum cycle temperature as functions of the rate at which heat is added to the cycle. The temperature at the turbine inlet is not to exceed 2000°C.arrow_forwardConsider a steam generator of a capacity of 50000 kg/hr and an efficiency of 83%.

The pressure at the inlet of the condenser is 22 kPa. The extracted steam from the turbine is at 500 kPa and it is used to heat the feed water in an open feed water heater. The pumps and turbine efficiencies are 80% and 85%, respectively. Don't forget to show the evele on a T-s diagram.arrow_forward
