Brayton Cycle Solve Problem 9.55 on a cold air-standard basis with specific heats evaluated at 520°R.

Problem 9.55

Air enters the compressor of a simple gas turbine at p1 = 14 lbf/in.2, T1 = 520°R. The isentropic efficiencies of the compressor and turbine are 83 and 87%, respectively. The compressor pressure ratio is 14 and the temperature at the turbine inlet is 2500°R. The net power developed is 5 × 106 Btu/h. On the basis of an air-standard analysis, calculate

(a) the volumetric flow rate of the air entering the compressor, in ft3/min.

(b) the temperatures at the compressor and turbine exits, each in °R.

(c) the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
