Brayton Cycle

Air enters the compressor of a simple gas turbine at 100 kPa, 300 K, with a volumetric flow rate of 5 m3/s. The compressor pressure ratio is 10 and its isentropic efficiency is 85%. At the inlet to the turbine, the pressure is 950 kPa, and the temperature is 1400 K. The turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 88% and the exit pressure is 100 kPa. On the basis of an air-standard analysis,

(a) develop a full accounting of the net exergy increase of the air passing through the gas turbine combustor, in kW.

(b) devise and evaluate an exergetic efficiency for the gas turbine cycle.

Let T0 = 300 K, p0 = 100 kPa.
