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...
