2. Consider a combined gas steam power cycle. The gas cycle is a simple Brayton cycle that has a pressure ratio of 7. Air enters at 9.8 kg / s at the compressor at 15 ° C and 100 kPa, and at the gas turbine at 950 ° C. The steam cycle is a Rankine cycle with overheating between the pressure limits of 6 MPa and 10 kPa. The water vapor is heated in the heat exchanger at a rate of 1.15 kg / s by the exhaust gases leaving the gas turbine, and the exhaust gases leave the heat exchanger at 200 ° C. Steam enters the high pressure turbine at 6 MPa and exits at 1.0 MPa, then reheats to 400 ° C in the heat exchanger before it expands under low pressure pressure. Assuming an isentropic efficiency of 80 percent for all pumps, turbines, and the compressor. Use a software and determine the input heat, the output heat, the thermal efficiency of each cycle and the combined cycle, and the power generated in the combined cycle.
