Question: At the design speed, following data is applied to a gas turbine plant incorporating a separate power turbine, heat exchanger, re - heater and intercooler

At the design speed, following data is applied to a gas turbine plant incorporating a separate power turbine, heat exchanger, re-heater and intercooler between two stage compression:
Isentropic efficiency of the compressor (each stage): 84%
Isentropic efficiency of the compressor turbine and power turbine: 0.9 and 0.85 respectively
Turbine to compressor transmission efficiency: 99%
Compressor pressure ratio in each stage: 2:1
Temperature after intercooler: 295 K
Air mass flow rate! 13.65kgs
Heat exchanger effectiveness: 0.75
Maximum turbine temperature (both): 900 K
Ambient temperature and pressure: 288.15K,1.013bar
LCV of fuel: 43100kJkg
Calculate the following:
a) Net output of the plant b) specific fuel consumption c) Thermal efficiency
b) Assume Cpa=1.005kJkgK,Cpg=1.147kJkgK,rg=1.33
At the design speed, following data is applied to
