Brayton Cycle

TUTORIAL:
a. Air enters the compressor of an ideal air-standard Brayton cycle at 100kPa,
300K, with a mass flow rate of 5.807kg/s. The compressor pressure ratio is 10.
The turbine inlet temperature is 1400K. Determine:
i. The thermal efficiency of the cycle (T2=579.2K, T4= 725.13K,th, brayton= 48.2 %)
ii. The back work ratio (41.4%)
iii. The net power developed, in kW (2309.09kW)
b. Reconsider example (a), but include in the analysis that the
turbine and compressor each have an isentropic efficiency of 80%. Determine for
the modified cycle:
i. The thermal efficiency of the cycle (25.4%)
ii. The back work ratio (64.6%)
iii. The net power developed, in kW (1114kW)

c. A regenerator is incorporated in the cycle of


example (a). Determine the thermal efficiency for a regenerator effectiveness of
80% (56%)
d. Consider a modification of the cycle of example (a)
involving reheat and regeneration. Air enters the compressor at 100 kPa, 300K
and is compressed to 1000kPa. The temperature at the inlet to the first turbine
stage is 1400K. The expansion takes place isentropically in two stages, with
reheat to 1400K between the stages at a constant pressure of 300kPa. A
regenerator having an effectiveness of 100% is also incorporated in the cycle.
Determine the thermal efficiency. (T4= 992.51K, T6=1022.8K) (64.4%)
e. Air is compressed from 100kPa, 300K to 1000 kPa
in a two- stage compressor with intercooling between stages. The intercooler
pressure is 300kPa. The air is cooled back to 300K in the intercooler before
entering the second compressor stage. Each compressor stage is isentropic. For
steady-state operation and negligible changes in kinetic and potential energy
from inlet to exit, determine:
i. The temperature at the exit of the second compressor stage (423.17K)
ii. The total compressor work input (234 kJ/kg)
