Question

Air enters the compressor of an ideal air-standard Brayton cycle at 100 kPa, 300 K, with a volumetric flow rate of 5 m³/s. The turbine inlet temperature is 1400 K. For compressor pressure ratio of 8, determine:

a.Thermal efficiency.

Answer 1

thermal efficiency

Step-by-step explanation:

The Brayton cycle is a simple theoretical gas turbine cycle used in aircraft applications. It consists of two reversible adiabatic processes and two constant pressure processes.
