At the beginning of the compression, P1 = 15 psia and T1 = 80°F; the maximum cycle temperature is 1200°F; and the pressure in the combustion chamber is 150 psia. The argon enters the compressor through a 3 ft2 opening with a velocity of 200 ft/s. Determine the rate at which entropy is generated by the cycle. The temperature of the source is the same as the maximum cycle temperature, and the temperature of the sink is the same as the minimum cycle temperature.
A simple ideal Brayton cycle operates with air with minimum and maximum temperatures of 27°C and 877°C. It is designed so that the
maximum cycle pressure is 2000 kPa and the minimum cycle pressure is 100 kPa. Determine the net work produced per unit mass of
air each time this cycle is executed and the cycle's thermal efficiency. Use constant specific heats at room temperature. The properties
