Question
Can the exhaust flow from a gas turbine be useful?
Step 1
This is represented by the equation: \[ T_{exhaust} > T_{ambient} \] where \( T_{exhaust} \) is the temperature of the exhaust flow and \( T_{ambient} \) is the ambient temperature. Show more…

Can the energy removed in a power plant condenser be useful?
Define the effectiveness of a regenerator used in gas-turbine cycles.
Exhaust gases from the turbine of a simple Brayton cycle are quite hot and may be used for other thermal purposes. One proposed use is generating saturated steam at $110^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ from water at $30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ in a boiler. This steam will be distributed to several buildings on a college campus for space heating. A Brayton cycle with a pressure ratio of 6 is to be used for this purpose. Plot the power produced, the flow rate of produced steam, and the maximum cycle temperature as functions of the rate at which heat is added to the cycle. The temperature at the turbine inlet is not to exceed $2000^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
