Chapter 6, Problem 6.164

(choose chapter or problem)

Figure P6.164 shows a power system operating at steady state consisting of three components in series: an air compressor having an isentropic compressor efficiency of 80%, a heat exchanger, and a turbine having an isentropic turbine efficiency of 90%. Air enters the compressor at 1 bar, 300 K with a mass flow rate of 5.8 kg/s and exits at a pressure of 10 bar. Air enters the turbine at 10 bar, 1400 K and exits at a pressure of 1 bar. Air can be modeled as an ideal gas. Stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine, in kW, (a) the power required by the compressor, (b) the power developed by the turbine, and (c) the net power output of the overall power system.
