Explanation Draw the T − s diagram for ideal Stirling engine cycle as shown in Figure (1). Write the expression of ideal gas equation for the isothermal process 3-4. P 4 = P 3 v 3 v 4 (I) Here, pressure at state 4 is P 4 , , pressure at state 3 is P 3 , volume at state 3 is v 3 and volume at state 4 is v 4 . Write the expression of ideal gas equation for the constant volume process 4-1. T 1 = T 4 ( P 1 P 4 ) (II) Here, temperature at state 4 is T 4 , and temperature at state 1 is T 1 . Write the expression of heat input to the Stirling engine cycle ( q in ) . q in = R T 1 ln v 2 v 1 (III) Here, the gas constant of air is R , volume at state 2 is v 2 and volume at state 1 is v 1 . Write the expression of heat rejected by the Stirling engine cycle ( q out ) . q out = R T 3 ln v 4 v 3 (IV) Here, volume at state 4 is v 4 and volume at state 3 is v 3 . Write the expression of net specific work done by the Stirling engine cycle ( w net ) . w net = q in − q out (V) Conclusion: From Table A-2Ea, “Ideal-gas specific heats of various common gases”, obtain the following properties for air. R = 0.06855 Btu / lbm ⋅ R c v = 0 .171 Btu / lbm ⋅ R c p = 0.240 Btu / lbm ⋅ R k = 1.4 Substitute 10 psia for P 3 and 10 for ( v 3 v 4 ) in Equation (I). P 4 = ( 10 psia ) ( 10 ) = 100 psia Substitute 100 ° F for T 4 , 600 psia for P 1 , and 100 psia for P 4 in Equation (II). T 1 = ( 100 ° F ) ( 600 psia 100 psia ) = ( 100 + 460 ) R ( 600 psia 100 psia ) = 3360 R Substitute 0

An ideal gas turbine cycle consisting of 2 stages of compression and 2 stages of expansion has an overall pressure ratio of 9. Air enters the compressors at the temperature of 320 K while, being intercooled between the stages. Air enters the first compressor at 100 kPa and the pressure ratio of cach of the compressors are selected in a way that minimizes the total power input for the compressors. The high-pressure turbine (First one) drives the compressors and the low-pressure one produces power output. The compressors and both the high-pressure and low-pressure turbines can be assumed ideal. To increase the efficiency of the cycle a regenerator with effectiveness of 85% is used to recover some heat from the exhaust of the second turbine. In this cycle, air with the temperature of 1400 K enters the first turbine. After expansion in the first turbine, air is reheated to the same temperature at the inlet of the first turbine (1400 K). You can consider constant specific heats of c,=1.005…
