Explanation The following figure shows the pressure volume diagram of Brayton cycle. Figure-(1) In Figure-(1), the process 1-2 is adiabatic compression, the process 2-3 is constant pressure heat addition process, the process 3-4 is adiabatic expansion in turbine and the process 4-1is constant pressure heat rejection. The area under the p − v curve represents work. The area under the curve 3-4-b-a-3 represents the work output in the process and the area under the curve 2-1-b-a-2 represents the work input. So the net work output is area under the curve 3-4-b-a-3 minus the area under the curve 2-1-b-a-2 which is represented by the 1-2-3-4-1. The following figure shows the temperature entropy diagram of Brayton cycle.

Example 2 The particle has a mass of 0.5 kg and is confined to move along the smooth horizontal slot due to the rotation of the arm OA. Determine the force of the rod on the particle and the normal force of the slot on the particle when 0 = 30°. The rod is rotating with a constant angular velocity 2 rad/s. Assume the particle contacts only one side of the slot at any instant. B =2 rad/s 0.5 m 0.5(9.81)N r F 30° N

A gas turbine cycle has two stages of compression, with an intercooler between the stages. Air enters the first stage at 100 kPa, 300 K. The pressure efficiency of 82%. Air exits the intercooler at 330 K. Calculate the temperature at the exit of each compressor stage and the total specific work required.

For problem 13, your answer should be the same as problem 12. Calculate the flow velocity and the heat transfer/area of the outer surfaces for both duct geometries to see the performance difference of the two designs.
