(a) Explanation Show the simple Brayton cycle, and with air as the working fluid on T − s diagram. For the given simple Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid, let T i , P i , h i and P r i be the temperature, pressure, specific enthalpy and relative pressure at i t h state respectively. Write the expression of pressure ratio relation for the process 1-2. P r 2 = P 2 P 1 P r 1 (I) Write the relation of pressure ratio and pressure for the process 3-4. P r 4 = P 4 P 3 P r 3 (II) Write the expression of efficiency of the compressor ( η C ) . η C = h 2 s − h 1 h 2 − h 1 (III) Write the expression of efficiency of the turbine ( η T ) . η T = h 3 − h 4 h 3 − h 4 s (IV) Conclusion: Refer Table A-17, “Ideal gas properties of air”, obtain the properties of air at 295 K ( T 1 ) , which gives 295.17 kJ / kg for h 1 and 1.3068 for P r 1 . Substitute 10 for P 2 P 1 , and 1.3068 for P r 1 in Equation (I). P r 2 = ( 10 ) ( 1.3068 ) = 13.07 Refer Table A-17, “Ideal gas properties of air”, obtain the properties of air at 13.07 ( P r 1 ) , which gives 570.26 kJ / kg for h 2 s , and 564.9 K for T 2 s . Refer Table A-17, “Ideal gas properties of air”, obtain the properties of air at 1,240 K ( T 3 ) , which gives 1 , 324.93 kJ / kg for h 3 and 272.3 for P r 3 . Substitute 1 10 for P 4 P 3 , and 272 (b) To determine The net work output of the simple Brayton cycle. (c) To determine The thermal efficiency of the cycle.
