CO1: - Understanding the working of gas turbine plant components and analysing
their performance

Q-1) A gas turbine operates on a pressure ratio of 6. The inlet air temperature to the
compressor is 300 K and the air entering the turbine is at a temperature of 577 0 C. If
the air volume rate entering the turbine is 240 m3/sec. Calculate the net power output
of the cycle in MW. Also, compute its efficiency. Assume that the cycle operates
under ideal conditions.

Q-2) A gas turbine cycle has a perfect heat exchanger. Air enters the compressor at a
temperature and pressure of 300 K and 1 bar and discharges at 475 K and 5 bar. After
passing through the heat exchanger, the air temperature increases to 655 K. The
temperature of air entering and leaving the turbine is 870 0C and 450 0C. Assuming no
pressure drop through the heat exchanger, compute

a) The output per kg of air


b) The efficiency of the cycle
c) The work required to drive the compressor.

Q-3) The specific power output of a turbine is 336.5 kW/kg and the exhaust gases leave the
turbine at 700 K. Calculate the turbine pressure ratio if the values Cp & Cv are 1
kJ/kg- K and 0.7171 kJ/kg K respectively. Round off the pressure ratio to the nearest
integer.

Q-4) A closed-cycle regenerative gas turbine operating with air as the working medium.
Assume the following data; p1 = 1.4bar, T1 = 310 K, p2/p1 =5, Tmax= 1050K,
effectiveness of the regenerator is 100%, net output = 3000KW. Assuming the
compression and expansion to be isentropic, calculate

a) Thermal efficiency b) mass flow rate of air per minute

Q-5) In a gas turbine, the pressure ratio to which air at 15 0C is compressed is 6. The same
air is then heated to a maximum permissible temperature of 750 0C. First in a heat
exchanger and then combustion chamber. It is the expanded in two stages such that
the expansion work is maximum. The air is reheated to 750 0C after the first stage.
Determine the cycle thermal efficiency, the work ratio, and the net shaft work per g of
air.

Q-6) A gas turbine operating at a pressure ratio of 11.3137 produces zero net work output
when 476.354 kJ of heat is added per kg of the air mass. If the inlet air total

temperature is 300 K and the turbine efficiency is 71%. Find the compressor
efficiency and the temperature ratio.

Q-7) The efficiencies of the compressor and turbine of a gas turbine are 70.42% and 71%
respectively. The heat added in the combustion chamber per kg of air is 476.354
kJ/kg. Find a suitable pressure ratio such that the work ratio is 0.0544. Also, find the
corresponding temperature ratio. The inlet total temperature of the air is 300 K.

Q-8) A practical gas turbine cycle having the isentropic compressor efficiency and
isentropic turbine efficiency with a work ratio of 0.30. If the pressure ratio r and
temperature ratio t are 12 and 4 respectively, calculate the minimum temperature ratio
required to drive the compressor. If the above unit works at ideal conditions, what will
its efficiency be?

Q-9) The polytropic efficiency of the compressor is 85%. If the ideal outlet temperature of
the compressor is twice that of the inlet. Calculate the isentropic efficiency of the
compressor, if the polytropic efficiency of the turbine is the same as the compressor;
calculate the isentropic efficiency of the turbine assuming that there is no pressure
loss. Take γa = 1.4 and γg = 1.33.

Q-10) The gas-turbine cycle is used as an automotive engine. In the first turbine, the gas
expands to pressure P5, just low enough for this turbine to drive the compressor. The
gas is then expanded through the second turbine connected to the drive wheels. The
data for the engine are shown in the figure and assume that all processes are ideal.
Determine the intermediate pressure P5, the net specific work output of the engine,
and the mass flow rate through the engine. Find also the air temperature entering the
burner T3, and the thermal efficiency of the engine.
