BRAYTON CYCLE
1. Air enters the compressor of an ideal air-standard Brayton cycle at 100 kPa, 300 K, with a volumetric flow rate
of 5 m3/s. The turbine inlet temperature is 1400 K. For compressor pressure ratios ranging from 2 to 20, plot
(a) The thermal efficiency of the cycle
(b) The back-work ratio
(c) The net power developed, in kW
2. The compressor and turbine of a simple gas turbine each have isentropic efficiencies of 90%. The compressor
pressure ratio is 12. The minimum and maximum temperatures are 290 K and 1400 K, respectively. On the basis
of an air-standard analysis, compare the values of (a) the net work per unit mass of air flowing, in kJ/kg, (b) the
heat rejected per unit mass of air flowing, in kJ/kg, and (c) the thermal efficiency to the same quantities evaluated
for an ideal cycle.
3. A regenerative gas turbine power plant is shown in Fig 1. Air enters the compressor at 1 bar, 27 °C with a mass
flow rate of 0.562 kg/s and is compressed to 4 bar. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 80%, and the
regenerator effectiveness is 90%. All the power developed by the high-pressure turbine is used to run the
compressor. The low-pressure turbine provides the net power output. Each turbine has an isentropic efficiency of
87% and the temperature at the inlet to the high-pressure turbine is 1200 K. Determine
(a) the net power output, in kW.
(b) the thermal efficiency.
(c) the temperature of the air at states 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7, in K.

4. Air enters the compressor of a gas turbine at 100 kPa, 300 K. The air is compressed in two stages to 900 kPa,
with intercooling to 300 K between the stages at a pressure of 300 kPa. The turbine inlet temperature is 1480 K
and the expansion occurs in two stages, with reheat to 1420 K between the stages at a pressure of 300 kPa. The
compressor and turbine stage efficiencies are 84 and 82%, respectively. The net power developed is 1.8 MW.
Determine
(a) The volumetric flow rate, in m3/s, at the inlet of each compressor stage.
(b) The thermal efficiency of the cycle.
(c) The backwork ratio.
