A gas-turbine power plant operates on the simple Brayton cycle between the pressure limits of 100 and 800 kPa. Air enters the compressor at 30°C and leaves at 330°C at a mass flow rate of 200 kg/s. The maximum cycle temperature is 1400 K. During operation of the cycle, the net power output is measured experimentally to be 60 MW. Assume constant properties for air at 300 K with cv = 0.718 kJ/kg·K, cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·K, R = 0.287 kJ/kg·K, k = 1.4.
(a) Sketch the T-s diagram for the cycle.
(b) Determine the isentropic efficiency of the turbine for these operating conditions.
(c) Determine the cycle thermal efficiency.
