Thermal efficiency of the cycle

Reference no: EM13289114

Air enters the compressor of regenerative air-standard Brayton cycle with volumetric flow rate 60 m3/s at 0.8 bar, 280K. The compressor pressure ration is 20, and the maximum cycle temperature is 2100K. For the compressor, the isentropic efficiency is 92% and for the turbine the isentropic efficiency is 95%. For a regenerator effectiveness of 85%, determine:

a) the net power developed, in MW,

b) the rate of heat addition in the combustor, in MW,

c) thermal efficiency of the cycle,

d) plot the quantities calculated in parts (a) through (c) for regenerator effectiveness values ranging from 0 to 100%. Briefly discuss your findings.
