A 350-MW simple-cycle gas turbine power plant operates with a compressor pressure ratio of 16, TIT of 1450°C and compressor intake temperature of 10°C, and pressure of 1 bar. The fuel natural gas with an LHV  of 50 MJ/kg is burned in a gas turbine combustor. The compressor and  turbine isentropic efficiencies are 0.87 and 0.92, respectively.  Calculate (a) the plant net specific work, (b) the compressor airflow,  (c) the fuel consumption rate, (d) the turbine exit temperature, and (e) the  plant thermal efficiency.
