A simple gas turbine power cycle operating at steady state

Chapter 4, Problem 4.106

(choose chapter or problem)

A simple gas turbine power cycle operating at steady state with air as the working substance is shown in Fig. P4.106. The cycle components include an air compressor mounted on the same shaft as the turbine. The air is heated in the high-pressure heat exchanger before entering the turbine. The air exiting the turbine is cooled in the low-pressure heat exchanger before returning to the compressor. Kinetic and potential effects are negligible. The compressor and turbine are adiabatic. Using the ideal gas model for air, determine the (a) power required for the compressor, in hp, (b) power output of the turbine, in hp, and (c) thermal efficiency of the cycle.
