Quitz-1

A gas turbine operates at a pressure ratio 7 and maximum temperature is limited to

1000K. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 85% and that of turbine is 90%. If the
air enters the compressor at a temperature of 288K, calculate the specific work output and
efficiency of the plant and compare these values with those achieved by the ideal Joule’s
cycle. If the unit under actual condition is required to produce 750kW power then
determine the necessary mass flow rate of air. Take Cp=1.005 kJ/kgK for air.
