Question
Air enters the compressor at 80 kPa, 280 K and 60 m^3/s in a Brayton cycle with a
regenerator with an efficiency of 0.85. The cycle maximum temperature is 2000 K, the
pressure ratio is 18. Since turbine and compressor isentropic efficiencies are 93%:
a) Net power (NW)
b) The heat taken into the system in the combustion chamber (MW)
c) Find the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
Features for air: k=1,4, R=0,287 kJ/kg K, cp= 1,005 kJ/kg K
