Consider a combined gas-steam power cycle. The topping cycle is a simple Brayton cycle that has a pressure ratio of 7. Air enters the compressor at 15 ºC at a rate of 10 kg/s and the gas turbine at 950 ºC. The bottoming cycle is a reheat Rankine cycle between the pressure limits of 6 MPa and 10 kPa. Steam is heated in a heat exchanger at a rate of 1.15 kg/s by the exhaust gases leaving the gas turbine, and the exhaust gases leave the same exchanger at 200 ºC. Steam leaves the high-pressure turbine at 1 MPa and is reheated to 400 ºC in the heat exchanger before it expands in the low-pressure turbine. Assuming 80 percent isentropic efficiency for all pumps and turbines,

1) determine the steam temperature at the inlet of the high-pressure. (hint: trial and error)

2) determine the net power output of the combined plant.

3) determine the thermal efficiency of the combined plant
