Rework Prob. 9-99 when the compressor isentropic efficiency is 87 percent and the turbine isentropic efficiency is 93 percent.
Prob. 9-99
A gas turbine for an automobile is designed with a regenerator. Air enters the compressor of this engine at 100 kPa and 30°C. The compressor pressure ratio is 10; the maximum cycle temperature is 800°C; and the cold air stream leaves the regenerator 10°C 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.
