In an air standard gas turbine cycle, air at 14.5 psia and 70 F is first compressed to 80 psia in a compressor of 82 percent efficiency. The hot air leaving the combustion chamber at 1250 F is expanded back to 14.5 psia in a turbine of 85 percent efficiency. If a regenerator is inserted into the cycle to heat the air leaving the compressor to 650 F, determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle and the effectiveness of the regenerator.
Does a Liquid-Dominant Geothermal Power Plant need both a condenser and a cooling tower? Or will either one do? And why.
Refrigerant-134a enters the compressor of a refrigerator at 140 kPa and -10°C at a rate of 0.3 m3/min and leaves at 1 MPa. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 78 percent. The refrigerant enters the throttling valve at 0.95 MPa and 30°C and leaves the evaporator as saturated vapor at -18.5°C. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine (a) the power input to the compressor, (b) the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space, and (c) the pressure drop andrate of heat gain in the line between the evaporator and the compressor.

It is known that the maximum absolute temperature in the cycle is 1.2 times the minimum absolute temperature, and the net power input to the cycle is 5 kW. If the refrigerant changes from saturated vapor to saturated liquid during the heat rejection process, determine the ratio of the maximum to minimum pressures in the cycle.arrow_forwardIn the preliminary design of a power plant, water is chosen as the working fluid and it is determined that the turbine inlet temperature may not exceed 520C. Based on expected cooling water temperatures, the condenser is to operate at a pressure of 0.06 bar.

- Can you imagine a steam power plant working without steam condenser, letting the turbine throw its exhaust steam away into the ambient air? Discuss the consequences of such stupid idea.arrow_forwardConsider a Carnot heat-engine cycle executed in a steady-flow system using steam as the working fluid. The cycle has a thermal efficiency of 30 percent, and steam changes from saturated liquid to saturated vapor at 275°C during the heat addition process. If the mass flow rate of the steam is 3 kg/s, determine the net power output of this engine, in kW.arrow_forwardA gas-fired power plant operating on a Brayton cycle draws in 9.0 kg/s of atmospheric air, initially at 300 K and 100 kPa, in order to generate 1.7 MW of electricity. If the combustion chamber adds heat by burning 0.07 kg/s of fuel with a heating value of 46.1 MJ/kg, and as a result the air entering the turbine is at a temperature of 861 K, determine the back work ratio of this device to 2 decimal places. You may treat the added mass of the fuel as negligible. Take the cp of air to have a constant value of 1.005 kJ/(kg K) throughout the whole cycle, and its ratio of specific heats k can be assumed to take the value 1.4.arrow_forward
