For modeling a gas turbine power plant producing 10 MW of power, the ideal air-standard Brayton cycle operating at steady state is used. Operating data at principal states in the cycle are given in the table below. The states are numbered as in Fig. below. (a) Sketch the T–s diagram for the cycle and determine (b) the mass flow rate of air, in kg/s, (c) the rate of heat transfer, in kW, to the working fluid passing through the heat exchanger, (d) the thermal efficiency.
