A Gas turbine unit has pressure ratio 6:1 & maximum cycle temperature of 610°C. The compressor and turbine are 0.80 and 0.82 respectively. Calculate power output in kilowatts of an electrical generator geared to the turbine when the air enters the compressor at 15°C at the rate of 16 Kg/Sec. Also calculate thermal efficiency an work ration of the plant. Assume i) Cp=1.005 Kj/Kg & γ =1.4 for compression processes ii) Cp=1.11Kj/Kg & γ=1.333 for expansion processes iii) Cp= 1.11Kj/Kg for combustion processes.

In a Gas turbine the compressor takes in air at a temp. Of 15°C and compresses it to four times the initial pressure with an isentropic efficiency of 82%. The air is then passed through heat exchanger heated by turbine exhaust before reaching combustion chamber. In the heat exchanger 78% of available heat is given to air. The maximum temp. After constant pressure combustion is 600°C and efficiency of turbine is 70%. Neglecting all losses except those mentioned and assuming working fluid throughout the cycle to have characteristics of air. Find the thermal efficiency of cycle. Assume: R=0.287Kj/Kg. K and γ=1.4 for air and constant specific heat throughout.
