9–87 Air is used as the working fluid in a simple ideal Brayton cycle
that has a pressure ratio of 12, a compressor inlet temperature of 300
K, and a turbine inlet temperature of 1000 K. Determine the required
mass flow rate of air for a net power output of 70 MW, assuming both
the compressor and the turbine have an isentropic efficiency of
(a) 100 percent and (b) 85 percent. Assume constant specific heat room
temperature. Answers: (a) 352 kg/s, (b) 1037 kg/s

9–93 A gas-turbine power plant operates on the simple Brayton cycle


between the pressure limits of 100 and 800 kPa. Air enters the
compressor at 308C and leaves at 3308C at a mass flow rate of 200
kg/s. The maximum cycle temperature is 1400 K. During operation of
the cycle, the net power output is measured experimentally to be 60
MW. Assume constant properties for air at 300 K with cv = 0.718
kJ/kg·K, cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·K, R = 0.287 kJ/kg·K, k = l.4.
(a) Sketch the T-s diagram for the cycle.
(b) Determine the isentropic efficiency of the turbine for these
operating conditions.
(c) Determine the cycle thermal efficiency
Solution:
Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 The air-standard
assumptions are applicable. 3 Kinetic and potential energy changes
are negligible. 4 Air is an ideal gas with constant specific heats.

Brayton Cycle with Regeneration

9–95C How does regeneration affect the efficiency of a Brayton cycle, and how
does it accomplish it?
‫كيف تؤثر عملية اإلسترجاع الحراري على كفاءة دورة برايتون وكيف تحققها؟‬
Regeneration increases the thermal efficiency of a Brayton cycle by capturing
some of the waste heat from the exhaust gases and preheating the air before it
enters the combustion chamber.

9–99 A gas turbine for an automobile is designed with a regenerator. Air enters
the compressor of this engine at 100 kPa and 30oC. The compressor pressure ratio
is 10; the maximum cycle temperature is 800oC; and the cold air stream leaves
the regenerator 10oC cooler than the hot air stream at the inlet of the regenerator.
Assuming both the compressor and the turbine to be isentropic, determine the
rates of heat addition and rejection for this cycle when it produces 115 kW. Use
constant specific heats at room temperature. Answers: 258 kW, 143 kW

Assumptions 1 The air standard assumptions are applicable. 2 Air is an ideal


gas with constant specific heats at room temperature. 3 Kinetic and potential
energy changes are negligible.
Properties The properties of air at room temperature are cp = 1.005 kJ/kg.K
and k = 1.4 (Table A-2a).
Analysis According to the isentropic process expressions for an ideal gas,

9–104 An ideal Brayton cycle with regeneration has a pressure ratio of 10. Air
enters the compressor at 300 K and the turbine at 1200 K. If the effectiveness of
the regenerator is 100 percent, determine the net work output and the thermal
efficiency of the cycle. Account for the variation of specific heats with
temperature.
