Write the efficiency of the turbine ( η T ) . η T = h 3 − h 4 h 3 − h 4 s . (III) Here, enthalpy at state 3 is h 3 , enthalpy at state 4 is h 4 and isentropic enthalpy at state 4 s is h 4 s . Write the expression to calculate the heat added due to regeneration ( q regen ) . q regen = ε ( h 4 − h 2 ) . (IV) Here, the effectiveness of the regenerator is ε . Conclusion: From Table A-17, “Ideal-gas properties of air”, obtain the properties of air at 295 K ( T 1 ) , 650K ( T 2 ) and 1400 K ( T 3 ) ,as 310.24 kJ / kg for h 1 , 659.84 kJ / kg for h 2 , 1 , 515.42 kJ / kg for h 3 and 450.5 for P r 3 respectively. Substitute 900 kPa for P 2 , and 100 kPa for P 1 in Equation (I). r p = 900 kPa / 100 kPa = 9 Substitute 1 9 for P 4 P 3 , and 450.5 for P r 3 in Equation (II). P r 4 = ( 1 9 ) ( 450.5 ) = 50.06 From the Table A-17, “Ideal-gas properties of air”. Obtain the value of isentropic enthalpy at state 4 s ( h 4 s ) at the relative pressure ( P r 4 ) of 50.06 by using interpolation method. Write the formula of interpolation method of two variables. y 2 = ( x 2 − x 1 ) ( y 3 − y 1 ) ( x 3 − x 1 ) + y 1 (V) Here, the variables denoted by x and y are relative pressure and enthalpy b) To determine The thermal efficiency of the turbine.

The Brayton cycle (1–2–3–4–1) can be modeled as a closed cycle with air (ideal gas with known constant properties) with a mass flow rate of m˙ B = 60 kg/s. The minimum and maximum pressures of the Brayton cycle are known and equal p B min = 0.3 MPa and p B max = 1.6 MPa, as well as the absorbed power Q˙H = 50 MW and the minimum temperature (T1 = 25ºC) of the cycle. Knowing that all processes occur in devices that operate in steady state, calculate the following parameters for each cycle: ( A ). The temperature at all points; ( B ). The compression and expansion power of each Brayton-Rankine cycle, as well as the absorbed/rejected heat transfer rate. ( C ). The efficiencies of each cycle, as well as the overall efficiency of the combined cycle (The combined cycle efficiency is calculated from the sum of the net work of the cycles under the heat supplied to the combined cycle). ( D ). The entropies generated from each process, as well as the total entropy for each cycle. General data: R…

5-9 Jet Porpulsion - Applied Thermodybnamics Consider an aircraft powered by a turbojet engine that has a pressure ratio of 9. The aircraft is stationary on the ground, held in position by its brakes. The ambient air is at 17°C and 95 kPa and enters the engine at a rate of 17 kg/s. The jet fuel has a heating value of 42700 kJ/kg, and it is burned completely at a rate of 0.5 kg/s. Neglecting the effect of the diffuser and disregarding the slight increase in mass at the engine exit as well as the inefficiencies of engine components, determine the force that must be applied on the brakes to hold the plane stationary. Use data from the tables. Question: The force that must be applied on the brakes is ____N.

As a car gets older, will its compression ratio change? How about the mean effective pressure?
