Air Standard Carnot Cycle
1. A gas turbine power plant operating on an ideal Brayton cycle has a pressure
ratio of 8. The gas temperature is 300 K at the compressor inlet and 1300 K at
the turbine inlet. Utilizing the air standard assumptions, determine (a) the gas
temperature at the exit of the compressor and turbine, (b) the work ratio and
(c) the thermal efficiency.
2. Air enters the compressor of an ideal air-standard Brayton cycle at 1 bar, 30 oC,
with a volumetric flow rate of 5 m3/s. The turbine inlet temperature is 1000 oC.
For compressor pressure ratio of 6, determine:
a. Thermal efficiency.
b. The work ratio and
c. The net power developed in kW
3. In a Brayton cycle, the air enters the compressor at 1 bar and 25 oC. the pressure
of air leaving the compressor is 3 bar and temperature at turbine inlet is 650 oC.
determine per kg of air, i) cycle efficiency ii) heat supplied to air iii) work input
iv) heat rejected in the cooler and v) temperature of air leaving the turbine.
4. In an air standard Brayton cycle, the air enters the compressor at 1 bar and 25
o
C. The pressure leaving the compressor is 6 bar the maximum temperature in
the cycle 900 oC. Find the following; a) Compressor and expander work per kg
of air. b) the cycle efficiency.
5. A closed cycle ideal gas plant operates temperature limited of 800 ⁰C and 30 ⁰C
and produces a power of 100Kw. A fuel of calorific value 45000KJ/kg is used.
Calculate the mass flow rate of air through the plant and the rate of fuel
combustion.
