An ideal air standard brayton cycle operates at steady state with compressor inlet conditions of 300 K and 100 kPa and fixed turbine inlet temperature of 1700 K. for the cycle: a) Determine the net power developed per unit mass flowing in kJ/kg, and the thermal efficiency for a compressor pressure ratio of 8.
b) Plot the net power developed per unit mass flowing , in KJ/kg , and the thermal efficiency, each versus compressor pressure ratio ranging from 2 to 50.
