Please find the correct option.(A-B-C-D)
A gas turbine power plant operates on a simple Brayton cycle with a pressure ratio of 8. Air enters the compressor with 37 degrees Celsius and 100 kPa pressure. The highest temperature of the cycle is 900K. The compressor and turbine are isentropic and their efficiency is 90% and 80% respectively. The properties of air will be assumed to be constant as Cv = 0.718 kj/kgK, Cp = 1.005 kj/kgK and R = 0.287 kj/kg, k = 1.4. Since the flow rate of the air entering the cycle is 1000kg / h, what is the net power of the cycle?
A-) 8
B-) 83
C-) 140
D-) 43
