two stage compressor with intercooling between the stages is used to compress air from 1 bar and 15C to 9 bar in a Gas-Turbine cycle . The high pressure turbine drives the compressor whereas low pressure turbine is coupled with an electrical generator. The compressor and turbine efficiencies are 85%; 75%, respectively. Heat is added to the compressed air after leaving the compressor till its temperature reaches 900C. The air then expands in HPT to an intermediate pressure and reheat...
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...
4. A regenerative two-stage gas turbine with reheat operating on the standard-air Brayton cycle is illustrated in Figure 3. In an ideal Brayton cycle, the processes in the turbines and compressor are adiabatic and isentropic, and the air flows through the combustor and heat exchangers at constant pressure. a) Show that the maximum total work output is developed when the pressure ratio is the same across each stage, if the temperature at the inlet to each turbine stage is the...

Problems 2 through 6 below are to be considered with reference to an Ideal Brayton Cycle with the following operating parameters: • Atmospheric conditions of 300K @ 100 kPa at the compressor inlet • 1.250K @ 900 kPa at the turbine inlet Be sure to read each problem carefully and utilize the specified assumptions. Use the air standard assumptions and treat specific heats as described in each problem. Also, assume isentropic mechanical energy transfers and isobaric thermal energy transfers throughout....
