Determine the temperature change undergone by an air as an ideal gas whenexpanding in the turbine adiabatically and irreversibly through a pressure ratio of 5 from an initial pressure of 700 kPa and temperature of 727°C according to the law pv'? =C. Assume Cp = 1.0035 kJ/kg.K and k = 1.4.
The Brayton cycle (1–2–3–4–1) can be modeled as a closed cycle with air (ideal gas with known constant properties) with a mass flow rate of m˙ B = 60 kg/s. The minimum and maximum pressures of the Brayton cycle are known and equal p B min = 0.3 MPa and p B max = 1.6 MPa, as well as the absorbed power Q˙H = 50 MW and the minimum temperature (T1 = 25ºC) of the cycle.
