Gas Turbine Power Plant PDF

The document summarizes the Brayton cycle used in gas turbine power plants. It describes the four processes: (1) isentropic compression in the compressor, (2) isobaric heat addition in the combustor, (3) isentropic expansion in the turbine, and (4) isobaric heat rejection in the condenser. It then provides an example calculation to determine the temperature and pressure at each state and the compressor and turbine work and efficiency for an air standard Brayton cycle with specified conditions.

An Air standard Brayton cycle has air enter the compressor at 270C and 100
kPa. The pressure ratio is 10, and the maximum allowable temperature in
the cycle is 1350K. Determine the pressure and the temperature at each
state in the cycle, and the compressor work, the turbine work, and the
cycle efficiency per kg of air.
