In a marine gas turbine unit a high-pressure turbine drives the compressor, and a low-pressure turbine drives the propeller through suitable gearing. The overall pressure ratio is 4/1, and the maximum temperature is 650⁰C. The isentropic efficiencies of the compressor, High Pressure turbine, and Low Pressure turbine are 0.8, 0.83 and 0.85 respectively, and the mechanical efficiency of both shafts is 98%.
Calculate the pressure entering the Low Pressure turbine when the air intake conditions are 1.01 bar and 25⁰C. Calculate also the thermal efficiency and the shaft power when the mass air flow is 60 kg/s. Neglect kinetic energy changes, and the pressure loss in combustion.
For all compression processes take cp = 1.005 kJ/kg K and ɣ=1.4; for the combustion and expansion processes take cp = 1.15 kJ/kg K and ɣ=1.333. Neglect the mass of fuel.

A 750-g collar can slide along the horizontal rod shown. It is attached to an elastic cord with an undeformed length of 300 mm and a spring constant of 250 N/m. Knowing that the collar is released from rest at A and neglecting friction, determine the speed of the collar at B and at E. (Round the final answer to two decimal places.)

A gas turbine unit has a pressure ratio of 5/1 and a maximum cycle temperature of 550⁰C. The turbine drives the compressor and an electric generator., the mechanical efficiency of the drive being 97%. The ambient temperature is 20⁰C and the isentropic efficiencies of the compressor and turbine are 0.8 and 0.83 respectively.
Calculate the power output in kilowatts for an airflow of 15kg/s. Calculate also the thermal efficiency and the work ratio. Neglect changes in kinetic energy, and the loss of pressure in the combustion chamber.
Take cp = 1.005 kJ/kg K and ɣ=1.4 for the compression process, and take cp = 1.15 kJ/kg K and ɣ=1.333 for all combustion and expansion processes.
