Air enters the compressor of a gas power plant at 1 bar and 18°C. The maximum cycle temperature is 780°C using fuel with heating value of 42 MJ/kg. The air mass flow rate is 12 kg/s. The isentropic efficiency of compressor and turbine is 85%. If the overall pressure ratio is 8/1, then calculate: • Plant output of the plant. • Mass flow rate of fuel. • Cycle thermal efficiency. Draw the cycle on T-s diagram. Take for air that C, = 1.005 kJ/kg K, y= 1.4

Question
Air enters the compressor of a gas power plant at 1 bar and 18°C. The maximum
cycle temperature is 780°C using fuel with heating value of 42 MJ/kg. The air mass
flow rate is 12 kg/s. The isentropic efficiency of compressor and turbine is 85%. If
the overall pressure ratio is 8/1, then calculate:
• Plant output of the plant.
• Mass flow rate of fuel.
• Cycle thermal efficiency.
Draw the cycle on T-s diagram. Take for air that C, = 1.005 kJ/kg K, y= 1.4
