A gas turbine power plant operates on simple Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid. The pressure ratio is 12. Temperature at the compressor inlet is 300 K, while at the turbine inlet the temperature is 1000 K. Determine (a) the efficiency and (b) the net work output per kg of air. (c) Mass flow rate (kg/s) to produce 70,000 kW.
