When a 200g block is placed on the piston, the volume of the gas goes from 5×10−5m3 to 4.7×10−5m3, while the pressure goes from 5.4×104Pa to 5.7×104Pa . If the surface area of the piston is 1×10−3m2 , the energy transferred to the gas due to the compression is most nearly

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.
