A gas-turbine power plant operates on the simple Brayton cycle between the pressure limits of 100 and 1600 kPa. The working fluid is air, which enters the compressor at 40°C at a rate of 850 m^3/min and leaves the turbine at 650°C. Using variable specific heats for air and assuming a compressor isentropic efficiency of 85 percent and a turbine isentropic efficiency of 88 percent, determine:
(a) the net power output, (b) the back work ratio, and (c) the thermal efficiency.

(a) The net power output is 6081 kW

(b) The back work ratio is 0.536

Explanation:

Process 1-2 is compression

Obtain the properties from EES software.

Enthalpy is function of Temperature for an ideal gas whereas the entropy is a function of both temperature and pressure.

T₁ = 40°C, P₁ = 100 KPa

Enthalpy, h₁ = 313.6 kJ/kg

Enthropy, S₁ = 5.749 kJ/kg.k

Entropy at state 2, s₂ = s₁ = 5.749 kJ/kg.k

P₂ = 1600 kPa and Entropy s₂ = 5.749 kJ/kg.k

Saturated Enthalpy, $h_{2s}$ = 691.9 kJ/kg

The Compressor efficiency is,

$n_c = \frac{h_{2s} -h_1}{h_2 - h_1}$

$0.85 = \frac{691.9 - 313.6}{h_2 - 313.6}$

h₂ = 758.6 kJ/kg

Process 3 - 4 is expansion

T₄ = 650°C, specific enthalpy, h₄ = 959.2 kJ/kg

The turbine efficiency is,

$n_t = \frac{h_3 - h_4}{h_3 - h_{4s}}$

Enthalpy cannot be found directly at state 3.

Using the EES software together with isentropic efficiency relation, we find

Temperature, T₃ = 1353°C

Enthalpy, h₃ = 1790 kJ/kg

Entropy, s₃ = 6.75 kJ/kg.k

Note that: h₃ = enthalpy(Air, T=T₃)

s₃ = entropy(Air, T=T₃, P=P₂)

$h_{4s}$ = enthalpy(Air, P=P₁, s=s₃)

The mass flow rate is determined from

m = P₁V₁ ÷ RT₁

= (100 kPa) (850 m³/min) ÷ (0.287) (40 + 273)

= 15.77 kg/s

The work input to the compressor is:

$W_{c,in} = m (h_2 - h_1)$

= (15.77 kg/s) (758.6 kJ/kg - 313.6 kJ/kg)

= 7017 kW

The work output from the turbine is:

$W_{T,out} = m (h_3 - h_4)$

= (15.77 kg/s) ( 1790 kJ/kg - 959.2 kJ/kg)

= 13098 kW

(A) the net power output,

$W_{net} = W_{T, out} - W_{C,in}$

= 13098 kW - 7017 kW

= 6081 kW

(B) The back work ratio is

$r_{bw} = \frac{W_{C, in}}{W_{T, out}}$

= 7017 kW / 13098 kW

= 0.536

$n_{th} = \frac{W_{net}}{Q_{in}}$

= 6081 kW ÷ [m(h₃ - h₂)]

= 6081 kW ÷ [15.77 kg/s (1790 kJ/kg - 758.6 kJ/kg)]

= 37.4%

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
