Question: Problem 2 : Gas Turbine Power Cycle ( 5 9 points ) A Brayton cycle with intercooling, reheat, and regeneration is shown in the figure
Problem : Gas Turbine Power Cycle points
A Brayton cycle with intercooling, reheat, and regeneration is shown in the figure below.
o
The following information is given:
tableCompression Ratio,Isentropic EfficiencyCompressor Compressor Turbine Turbine Not given,
The mass flow rate of air is
Air exits the heat exchanger at kPa and a temperature of K
The heat exchanger has fluid friction that results in a pressure drop of kPa All other components that exchange heat with the surroundings are ideal and have no pressure drop across them.
Air enters Turbine and Turbine at K
The regenerator effectiveness is
Air exits the cooler at the same temperature as it exits the heat exchanger.
Do the following:
a Determine the pressure at the exit of Turbine in kPa points
b Populate a scorecard showing the pressure kPa temperature K specific enthalpy and specific entropy at each state. points
c Plot a Ts diagram for the cycle, handdrawing the paths between states, but plotting temperature and entropy to scale. points
d Determine the net power generated by the cycle, in MW points
e Determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle. points
f Determine the ratio of heat transferred by the regenerator to the external heat input to the cycle. points
g Determine the back work ratio. points
h For each component, populate a table showing the change in system entropy ie net entropy transport by mass flows between the exits and the inlets and all in kWK points Assume that the ambient environment is at K and the gas combustion temperature is K The purpose of this exercise is to help you better understand where entropy generation is coming from.
i Which component produces the most entropy? point
