Problem 1

• In an air standard Brayton cycle, the minimum


and maximum temperature are 300 K and
1200 K, respectively. The pressure ratio is that
which maximizes the net work developed by
the cycle per unit mass of air flow. Calculate
the compressor and turbine work, each in
kJ/kg air, and thermal efficiency of the cycle.
Problem 2
• A gas turbine unit receives air at 1 bar, 300 K
and compresses it adiabatically to 6.2 bar. The
compressor efficiency is 88%. The fuel has a
heating value of 44186 kJ/kg and the fuel-air
ratio is 0.017 kg fuel/kg of air. The turbine
internal efficiency is 90%. Calculate the work
of turbine and compressor per kg of air
compressed and thermal efficiency. For
products of combustion cp = 1.147 kJ/kg K, γ =
1.33.
Problem 3
• A regenerative-reheat cycle has air entering at 1 bar, 300 K
into compressor having intercooling in between the two
stages of compression. Air leaving first stage of compression is
cooled upto 290 K at 4 bar pressure in intercooler and
subsequently compressed upto 8 bar. Compressed air leaving
second stage compressor is passed through a regenerator
having effectiveness of 0.80. Subsequent combustion chamber
yields 1300 K at inlet to turbine having expansion upto 4 bar
and then reheated upto 1300 K before being expanded upto 1
bar. Exhaust from turbine is passed through regenerator
before discharged out of cycle. For the fuel having heating
value of 42000 kJ/kg determine fuel-air ratio in each
combustion chamber, total turbine work and thermal
efficiency. Consider compression and expansion to be
isentropic and air as working fluid throughout the cycle.
Problem 4
• A gas turbine plant has air supplied at 1 bar, 27ºC for being
compressed through pressure ratio of 10. Compression of
air is achieved in two stages with perfect intercooling in
between at optimum pressure. The maximum temperature
in cycle is 1000 K and compressed air at this temperature is
sent for expansion in two stages of gas turbine. First stage
expansion occurs upto 3 bar and is subsequently reheated
upto 995 K before being sent to second stage. Fuel used for
heating in combustion chamber has calorific value of
42,000 kJ/kg. Considering cp = 1.0032 kJ/kg. K throughout
cycle determine, net output, thermal efficiency and air fuel
ratio when air flows into compressor at 30 kg/s. Take
isentropic efficiency of compression and expansion to be
85% and 90% respectively.
Backwork ratio
• It is the ratio of net compressor work to net
turbine work.
• WC/WT
• Wc – Compressor work
• WT – Turbine work
