Helium is used as the working fluid in an ideal Brayton cycle. Gas enters the compressor at 27°C and 20 bar and is discharged at 60 bar. The gas is heated to 1000°C before entering the turbine. The cooler returns the hot turbine exhaust to the temperature of the compressor inlet. Determine: (a) the temperatures at the end of compression and expansion, (b) the heat supplied, the heat rejected and the net work per kg of He, and (c) the cycle efficiency and the heat rate. Take cp = 5.1926kJ/kg.K.

A simple vapor compression cycle uses ammonia as a refrigerant. The vaporizing and condensing temperature are -20°C and 35°C, respectively. The system is to be used in producing 10,000 kg of ice at -15°C from water at 25°C in 25 hours. The specific heat of ice is 2.094 kJ/kg-K and the heat of fusion is 335 kJ/kg.

A power plant uses a gas turbine to produce electricity. Assume that the gas-turbine operates on the ideal Brayton cycle has a pressure ratio of 8. The outside air temperature is 27 C and without preheating, the air is drawn into the compressor. The air compressed in the compressor and its pressure and temperature increase. Thereafter it is supplied into the combustion chamber where its temperature increases to 1023 C at constant pressure. Thereafter, hot air is drawn into the turbine. By considering the air-standard assumptions, determine (a) the gas temperature at the exits of the compressor and the turbine (b) the back work ratio (c) the thermal efficiency

An ideal gas turbine cycle consisting of 2 stages of compression and 2 stages of expansion has an overall pressure ratio of 9. Air enters the compressors at the temperature of 320 K while, being intercooled between the stages. Air enters the first compressor at 100 kPa and the pressure ratio of cach of the compressors are selected in a way that minimizes the total power input for the compressors. The high-pressure turbine (First one) drives the compressors and the low-pressure one produces power output. The compressors and both the high-pressure and low-pressure turbines can be assumed ideal. To increase the efficiency of the cycle a regenerator with effectiveness of 85% is used to recover some heat from the exhaust of the second turbine. In this cycle, air with the temperature of 1400 K enters the first turbine. After expansion in the first turbine, air is reheated to the same temperature at the inlet of the first turbine (1400 K). You can consider constant specific heats of c,=1.005…
