The 7FA gas turbine manufactured by General Electric is reported to have an efficiency of 35.9 percent in the simple-cycle mode and to produce 159 MW of net power. The pressure ratio is 14.7 and the turbine inlet temperature is 1288°C. The mass flow rate through the turbine is 1,536,000 kg/h.
Taking the ambient conditions to be 20°C and 100 kPa, determine:
(a) the isentropic efficiency of the turbine and the compressor,
(b) the thermal efficiency of this gas turbine if a regenerator with an effectiveness of 80 percent is added.
Answers: (a) 0.849, 0.924 (b) 0.496
A gas turbine operates in an ideal Brayton cycle of which Argon is used as the working substance. During the start of the compression, the temperature of the gas is at 340 K and pressure of 500kPa. The compression process is adiabatic with gas conditions at the outlet of 650 K and 1930 kPa. The working substance is heated and entered the turbine at 1400 K and 1930kPa and expands adiabatically to 900 K and 490kPa. Determine the compressor and turbine efficiencies, the actual compressor and turbine work, the net work of the cycle, the thermal efficiency, and the new thermal efficiency when assuming that a regenerator is installed with 85% effectiveness. Draw the schematic diagram.
Calculate the power in kilowatts of the gas turbine power plant has a greatest temperature of 700 C and a pressure ratio of 10. The isentropic efficiencies of the turbine and compressor are 0.85 and 0.82 respectively. The mass flow rate of the air that inlet to the compressor is 15 kg/s at 15 °C. At the expansion process take c L11 Jkg K y =1.333, and at the compression process tike = 1.005 LIleK and y =1.4

(b) Describe the conditions under which a turbine can operate in an isentropic state. Compare the power output of a real turbine with an isentropic turbine intuitively. (c) Due to irreversibility, the entropy of a real turbine process grows. To keep the entropy of the steam at a low value when it leaves the turbine, it is recommended that some heat be extracted from the steam via cold water circulation before it leaves the turbine. This will keep the entropy at a low value when the steam leaves the turbine, and thus the work output will increase.
