A gas turbine power plant operates on a Brayton cycles has a pressure ratio of 7. Air enters the compressor at 300 K. The energy in the form of heat is transferred to the air in the amount of 950 kJ/kg. Using a variable specific heat for air and assuming the compressor isentropic efficiency is 83 percent and turbine isentropic efficiency is 85 percent. Determine the followings: (i) The highest temperature in the cycle (ii) The net work output, in...

Consider a combined gas-steam power cycle. The topping cycle is a simple Brayton cycle that has a pressure ratio of 7. Air enters the compressor at 15 ºC at a rate of 10 kg/s and the gas turbine at 950 ºC. The bottoming cycle is a reheat Rankine cycle between the pressure limits of 6 MPa and 10 kPa. Steam is heated in a heat exchanger at a rate of 1.15 kg/s by the exhaust gases leaving the gas turbine,...

For the above gas turbine (question 1), it has been decided that for efficiency improvement some changes are required. You have been given task of helping the organization, as a consultant. Can you recommend practical changes that can lead to efficiency improvement? One of the researchers at UA’s Mechanical Engineering Department, came-up with an idea of integrating above gas turbine with a steam powered cycle, so that end combination would be combined power plant cycle. It was also recommended to...

An electric utility is considering a new power plant in northern Arizona. Power from the plant would be sold in the Phoenix area, where it is badly needed. Because the firm has received a permit, the plant would be legal; but it would cause some air pollution. The company could spend an additional $40 million at Year 0 to mitigate the environmental problem, but it would not be required to do so. The plant without mitigation would cost $270.70 million,...
