Brayton Cycle

For the Brayton cycle of Problem 9.46, investigate the effects of varying compressor pressure ratio and turbine inlet temperature. Plot the same quantities calculated in Problem 9.46 for

(a) a compressor pressure ratio of 10 and turbine inlet temperatures ranging from 1000 to 1600 K.

(b) a turbine inlet temperature of 1400 K and compressor pressure ratios ranging from 2 to 20. Discuss.

9.46 Air enters the compressor of an ideal cold air-standard Brayton cycle at 100 kPa, 300 K, with a mass flow rate of 6 kg/s. The compressor pressure ratio is 10, and the turbine inlet temperature is 1400 K. For k = 1.4, calculate

(a) the thermal efficiency of the cycle.

(b) the back work ratio.

(c) the net power developed, in kW.
