Exercise 3A
A simple Brayton cycle using air as the working fluid has
a pressure ratio of 10. Air enter the compressor at 100
kPa. The minimum and maximum temperatures in the
cycle are 295 K and 1240 K. The properties of air at room
temperature are cp = 1.005 kJ/kg.K and = 1.4.
Assuming an isentropic efficiency of 100 percent for the
compressor for the turbine and also the specific heat are
varied with temperature, determine
(a) the air temperature at the turbine exit,
(b) the back work ratio, and
(c) the thermal efficiency.
(d) the net power output if the air enters the compressor
at the rate of 850 m3 / min.
Exercise 3B
Using the same case as example 3A,
but with the isentropic efficiency of 83
percent for the compressor and 87
percent for the turbine. Determine,
(a) the back work ratio, and
(b) the thermal efficiency.
Exercise 3C
Using the same case as example 3b,
but a regenerator with the
effectiveness of 0.8 is added in the
cycle, Determine the thermal
efficiency.
