12-5. An air-cycle unit operating on the simple system is designed
for the following
conditions: 15 lb/min of conditioned air, air entering the turbine
at 60 psia, cabin
pressure 14 psia, dry-air rated discharge temperature 20 F, and a
turbine efficiency of 80 per
cent.
a. At what temperature does air enter the turbine?
b. How much power does the turbine supply to the fan?
