5. 20% A 2.4-L gasoline fuelled internal combustion engine produces a maximum power of 220 kW when the fuel is burned stoichiometrically with air. The thermal efficiency of the engine at this maximum power is 43%. Methanol (CH3OH) is to be used as an alternative biofuel for this engine. The stoichiometric air-fuel ratio for gasoline is 14.6. Assume a combustion efficiency of 98%. The lower heating values of gasoline and methanol are 44 MJ/kg and 20 MJ/kg, respectively. Consider the...

Combined cycle power plants are common because of their high efficiency and scalability. They typically combine a gas turbine cycle (the Brayton Cycle) with a steam turbine cycle (the Rankine Cycle) [1]. The goal of this project is to determine the operating efficiency and profitability of a realistic combined cycle power plant. The power plant is as follows: 1. A natural gas-fired Brayton cycle with mÛ air,Br = 1.25 kg s−1 . (a) Ambient air at 1 bar and 300...
