A gas turbine power plant operates on the simple Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid and delivers 10 MW of power. The minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycle are 300 K and 1100 K, and the pressure of air at the compressor exit is 9 times the value at the compressor inlet. Assuming an adiabatic efficiency of 80% for the compressor and 90% for the turbine, determine
The mass flow rate of air through the cycle. Use the PG model.
