Question: HW# 7 - 4 ( 1 5 pt ) A gas - turbine power plant operates on the simple Brayton cycle between the pressure limits

HW#7-4(15 pt) A gas-turbine power plant operates on the simple Brayton cycle between the pressure limits of 100 and 1600 kPa . The working fluid is air, which enters the compressor at 40C at a rate of 850m3min and leaves the turbine at 650C(actual). Assuming a compressor isentropic efficiency of 85% and a turbine isentropic efficiency of 90%, determine [(a) the net power output, (b) the back work ratio, and (c) the thermal efficiency] of ideal and actual cycles (ideal: isentropic, actual: considering isentropic efficiency). Assume constant specific heats and use air properties at 1000 K in Table A-2(b).
