In a gas turbine plant, air is compressed from 1.01 bar and 15 ?C through a pressure ratio of 4. It is then heated to 650 ?C in a combustion chamber, and expanded back to atmospheric pressure. Calculate the cycle efficiency and work ratio if a perfect heat exchanger is employed. The isentropic efficiencies of the turbine and compressor are 0.85 and 0.80, respectively. ANSWER (0.319, 0.319)

In a gas turbine plant, air is compressed through a pressure ratio of 6 from 15 ?C. It is then heated to the maximum permissible temperature of 750 ?C and expanded in two stages each of expansion ratio ?6, the air being reheated between the stages to 750 ?C. A heat exchanger allows the heating of the compressed air through 75 percent of the maximum range possible. Calculate the cycle efficiency, the work ratio and the net work output per...

. In a gas turbine plant, air enters a compressor at atmospheric conditions of 15 ?C, 1.0133 bar and is compressed through a pressure ratio of 10. The air leaving the compressor passes through a heat exchanger before entering the combustion chamber. The hot gases leave the combustion chamber at 800 ?C and expand through an HP turbine which drives the compressor. On leaving the HP turbine the gases pass through a reheat combustion chamber which raises the temperature of...

In a gas turbine of a thermoelectric plant a regenerator is used that preheats the air before it enters the combustion chamber. You have the options of a backflow heat exchanger or a shell heat exchanger and two tube passages. The air leaves the compressor at a temperature of 350 C and the exhaust gases have a temperature of 700 C. The mass flow in both cases is 5 kg / sec. The overall transfer coefficient is 75 w /...
