(1)30 Points. (Rankine Cycle) Construct a model of a simple steam turbine cycle. Use a
turbine inlet pressure and temperature of 4 MPa and 550^(@)C and a pump inlet pressure of 5 kPa .
Assume isentropic efficiencies for the pump and turbine of 85% and 90%. Include stagnation
pressure losses of 8% for each of the major heat exchange components- economizer, steam
generator, superheater, and condenser-but neglect pressure losses in the interconnecting pipes.
Depict the cycle on a T-s diagram. Also draw saturation lines. Print out every state at the inlets
or outlets of major components. Print out the thermal efficiency, water-specific work (work per
unit water flow in kg ), and the exit quality of the turbine.
(2)30 Points. (Air-standard Brayton Cycle) Construct an air-standard Brayton cycle model of a
simple-cycle gas turbine engine (compressor, turbine, and two heat exchangers). Use a
compressor inlet pressure and temperature of 0.1 MPa and 300 K and a compressor pressure ratio
of 15:1. Neglect pressure losses except for across the high temperature heat exchanger (or
combustor), where you use a 5% loss of stagnation pressure there. Assume an allowable turbine
inlet temperature of 1500 K and isentropic efficiencies for the compressor and turbine of 83%
and 88%. Assume an engineering air ( N_(2):O_(2)=79%:21%, mole-basis).
Depict the cycle on a T-s diagram. Print out every state at the inlets or outlets of major
components. Print out the thermal efficiency and air-specific work (work per unit air flow in kg ).
