A turbine consumes 9.08 kg of air per second with a pressure
ratio of 4/1. Assuming that the efficiency of the generator is 70%,
that the individual performances of the turbine and compressor are
87%, that the average specific heat is constant and equal to 0.25
for both air and gases, and neglecting mechanical losses , find (a)
the inlet and outlet temperatures of the air in the regenerator;
(b) ditto of the gases, and (c) the average temperature difference.
Absolute inlet pressure = 1,029 bar; inlet temperature = 15.6 oC,
and inlet temperature to the turbine = 871 oC.

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 with two-stage compression and expansion, the
total pressure ratio is 12. Air enters the compressor at a
temperature of 320 K and the turbine at a temperature of 1320 K.
The isanthropic efficiency of the compressors is 75%, the
efficiency of the turbines is 87% and the regenerator is 78%.
Considering the change of specific temperatures with
temperature;
a) back work rate,
b) calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle.

An industrial gas turbine operates at an 8.8:1 pressure ratio
and a mass flow of 77 kg/s. The
exhaust temperature is at 437?C and the inlet temperature to the
machine is around 1000?C.
The machine is to be designed for a constant axial velocity of 200
m/s. (This data is based on
the Rolls-Royce Avon, an engine that dates from the 1950s but is
still used as low efficiency
high reliability engine for stationary power such as pipeline
pumping.)

Mario consumes eggplants and tomatoes in the ratio of 1 bushel
of eggplants per 1 bushel of tomatoes. His garden yields 30 bushels
of eggplants and 10 bushels of tomatoes. He initially faced prices
of $25 per bushel for each vegetable, but the price of eggplants
rose to $100 per bushel, while the price of tomatoes stayed
unchanged. After the price change, he would
a. increase his eggplant consumption by 6 bushels.
b. decrease his eggplant consumption by at least...

A gas turbine plant consists of a compressor with a pressure
ratio of 10, a combustion chamber, and a turbine mounted on the
same shaft as the compressor; the net electrical power of the unit
is 20 MW. The inlet air conditions are 1.013 bar and 15 ?C and the
maximum cycle temperature is 1100 K. The exhaust gases from the
turbine are passed through a heat exchanger to heat water for space
heating before passing to the chimney; by...
