Problem No 13
Air enters the compressor of an air-standard Brayton cycle at $p_1 = 100$ kPa, $T_1$ K, with a volumetric flow rate of $\dot{V}$ m³/s. The compressor pressure ratio is $p_2/p_1$. The turbine inlet temperature is $T_3$ K. Assuming, that the turbine and compressor each have an isentropic efficiency of 80%, determine:
(a) the thermal efficiency of the cycle,
(b) the back work ratio,
(c) the net power developed, in kW
$p_2/p_1 = 9.2$
$T_3 = 1400$ K
$\dot{V} = 17$ m³/s
