    Given data

    T1 =300 K; T3 = 1600 K; rp = 14; P1 = 100 KPa; m=200 kg/s


    𝛾−1
    𝑇2 𝑃2 ( 𝛾)
    =( )
    𝑇1 𝑃1

    𝑇2
    = (14)0.2856
    𝑇1

    𝑇2 = 300 (14)0.2856 = 637.46 𝐾


    𝛾−1
    𝑇3 𝑃 ( 𝛾)
    = ( 3) = (14)0.2858
    𝑇4 𝑃4
    1600
    𝑇4 = = 752.98 𝐾
    (14)0.2856

    Compressor work = 𝑐𝑝 × (𝑇2 − 𝑇1)

    Wcp = 1.005×(637.46-300)= 339.148 kJ/kg

    Turbine work output = 𝑐𝑝 × (𝑇3 − 𝑇4)

    WT = 1.005×(1600-752.98)= 851.255 kJ/kg

    Net work = Turbine work output – compressor work input

    Wnet = 851.255 – 339.148 = 512.107 kJ/kg

    (13) Power output of turbine in MW


    WT = 200×851.255 = 170.25 MW

    (14) Fraction of the turbine output is required to drive the compressor is given by
    𝑊𝐶 339.148
    = = 𝟎. 𝟒𝟎
    𝑊𝑇 851.255

    (15) Thermal efficiency of the cycle is given by


    Heat input Qin = 𝑐𝑝 × (𝑇3 − 𝑇2) = 1.005(1600 − 637.46)
    = 967.3527kJ/kg
    512.107
    So thermal efficiency = 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 = = 0.529 = 𝟓𝟐. 𝟗%
