Q 5: An open cycle gas turbine plant has an overall pressure ratio of 6/1. Air is induced into the compressor at 300 K and the maximum cycle temperature is 1000 K. The expansion is carried out in two stages with perfect reheating in between. The isentropic efficiencies of the compressor and both turbine stages are 0.84 and 0.9 respectively. With an air mass flow rate of 600 kg/min, calculate: a. Output power of the plant. b. Cycle thermal efficiency. c. Back work ratio. Neglect the mass of fuel and take the properties to be Cp = 1.02 kJ/kg K, y = 1.36.

Q 5:
An open cycle gas turbine plant has an overall pressure ratio of 6/1. Air is induced into the
compressor at 300 K and the maximum cycle temperature is 1000 K. The expansion is
carried out in two stages with perfect reheating in between. The isentropic efficiencies of
the compressor and both turbine stages are 0.84 and 0.9 respectively. With an air mass
flow rate of 600 kg/min, calculate:
a. Output power of the plant.
b. Cycle thermal efficiency.
c. Back work ratio.
Neglect the mass of fuel and take the properties to be C, = 1.02 kJ/kg K, y = 1.36.
