b) A 15 MW gas turbine plant operates with a two-stage compression and a two-stage
expansion. The high-pressure turbine (HPT) drives both low-pressure compressor
(LPC) and high-pressure compressor (HPC). A low-pressure turbine (LPT) is connected
to a generator for electricity generation The overall pressure ratio is 16/1 and the
maximum cycle temperature, which is at the inlet of the HPT, is 900°C. The gases
leaving the HPT are reheated to 850°C before entering the LPT. Both compressors have
equal pressure ratios with an intercooler between the stages, and the intercooling
process is complete. Air enters the LPC at a temperature and pressure of 27°C and
100 kPa respectively. The exhaust gases leaving the LPT are passed through a heat
exchanger to heat the air leaving the HPC. Thermal ratio of the heat exchanger is 0.78.
The isentropic efficiencies for both compressors and turbines are 85%. The mass of fuel
injected is negligibly small. Assuming that the kinetic and potential energy changes are
negligibly small,
i. sketch the cycle on a temperature-entropy (T-s) diagram,
ii. determine the required air mass flow rate for the gas turbine, kg/s,
iii. determine the thermal efficiency of the power plant, %, and
iv. determine the work ratio.
For air, take cpa = 1.005 kJ/kg.K and γa = 1.40
For gas, take cpg = 1.14 kJ/kg.K and γg = 1.35

A parachutist whose mass is 65 kg drops from a helicopter
hovering 2000 m above the ground and falls toward the ground under
the influence of gravity. Assume that the force due to air
resistance is proportional to the velocity of the parachutist,
with the proportionality constant b1 = 20 N-sec/m when
the chute is closed and b2 = 90 N-sec/m when the chute
is open. If the chute does not open until the velocity of the
parachutist reaches 25 m/sec, after how many seconds will the
parachutist reach the ground? Assume that the acceleration due to
gravity is 9.81 m divided by sec squared.
The parachutist will reach the ground after
_______ seconds.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
