3. (a) 10 kg/s of water flows through a simple steady-state vapor-power cycle as shown in the figure. The four states are defined by the given properties in the table. Fill in the missing properties in the table (b) Find the power input to the pump and the rate of entropy change. (c) Find the rate of heat added to the boiler. (c) Find the power output of the turbine and the rate of entropy change. (d) Find the rate...
174 2 combustor , =1500 K Problem 2 (22 pts): Brayton cycle and entropy calculations An open Brayton cycle is used to generate electricity. Air enters the isentropic compressor at T1 = 300 K and P1 = 100 kPa with a mass flow rate m = 1.5 kg/s. The combustor can be modeled as a constant-pressure heat exchanger, supplying 1540 kW of thermal power to the air from a thermal reservoir (Th = 1750 K). Air enters the isentropic turbine...
