How is the compression in the Otto cycle different from the Brayton cycle?
A two-stage compressor having an interstage cooler takes in air, 300K,100kPa, and compresses it to 2 MPa . The cooler then cools the air to 340 K , after which it enters the second stage, which has an exit pressure of 15.74 MPa . Both stages are adiabatic, and reversible. Find q in the cooler, total specific work, and compare this to the work required with no intercooler.
A heat-powered portable air compressor consists of three components: (a) an adiabatic compressor; (b) a constant pressure heater (heat supplied from an outside source); and (c) an adiabatic turbine. Ambient air enters the compressor at 100kPa,300K, and is compressed to 600 kPa . All the power from the turbine goes into the compressor, and the turbine exhaust is the supply of compressed air. If this pressure is required to be 200 kPa , what must the temperature be at the exit of the heater?
Air enters an insulated turbine at 50C, and exits the turbine at 30C,100kPa. The isentropic turbine efficiency is 70% and the inlet volumetric flow rate is 20Ls. What is the turbine inlet pressure and the turbine power output?
