A Brayton cycle is to produce 100 MW of power, using a compressor with an isentropic efficiency of 0.78 and a turbine with an isentropic efficiency of 0.83. The air entering the compressor is at 100 kPa and 20°C. The maximum allowable pressure in the system is 2.0 MPa, and the maximum allowable temperature is 1400°C. Design a Brayton cycle that meets these requirements. Indicate the temperature and pressure at each state and the mass flow rate for the system, as well as the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
