. 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...
