At the beginning of the cooling process of an ideal Brayton cycle, the pressure and temperature of the air are 150 kPa and 800°C. The state of the air leaving the compressor is 1.5 MPa, 500°C. Assuming constant specific heats (R=0.287 kJ/kgK, cv=0.718 kJ/kg K, cp=1.005 kJ/kg K), determine the back work ratio of the cycle.

Question
At the beginning of the cooling process of an ideal Brayton cycle, the pressure and temperature of the air are
150 kPa and 800°C. The state of the air leaving the compressor is 1.5 MPa, 500°C. Assuming constant
specific heats (R=0.287 kJ/kgK, cy=0.718 kJ/kg K, cp=1.005 kJ/kg K), determine the back work ratio of the
cycle.
