(34%) An air compressor and regenerative heat exchanger for a gas turbine system operate at steady state. Air flows from the compressor through the regenerator, a separate stream of air passes through the regenerator in a counter flow arrangement. Operating data are provided below. Heat transfer to the surroundings can be neglected. The compressor power input is 6700 kW . Assume the air to have constant specific heat evaluated at 300 K . Determine:
a) The mass flow rate of air entering the compressor (kgs).
b) The compressor isentropic efficiency.
c) The temperature of the air exiting the regenerator at state 5(k).
d) The rate of entropy generation for the compressor only (kJsK).
( 3 4 % ) An air compressor and regenerative heat
