15. a) In a gas turbine the compressor takes in air at a temperature of 15°C and
compresses it to four times the initial pressure with an isentropic efficiency of
82%. The air is then passed through a heat exchanger heated by the turbine
exhaust before reaching the combustion chamber. In the heat exchanger 78%
of the available heat is given to the air. The maximum temperature after
constant pressure combustion is 600°C, and the efficiency of the turbine is
70%. Neglecting all losses except those mentioned, and assun1ing the working
fluid throughout the cycle to have t~e characteristic of air find the efficiency
of the cycle. Assume R=0.287 kJ/kg Kand 'Y = 1.4 for nfr and oonstant specific
heats throughout.

intercooling. The maximum tompQrature of the cycle ie limited to 700°0.
Assuming the isentropic efficiency of' each compresso1• stage as 85% and that
of turbine as 90%, determine the power developed and efficiency of the power
plant, if the air flow is 1.2 kg/e. Assume CP = 1.005 kJ/kg. Kandy= 1.4.
