Chapter 9, Problem 9176

(choose chapter or problem)

Using EES (or other) software, determine the effects of pressure ratio, maximum cycle temperature, and compressor and turbine efficiencies on the net work output per unit mass and the thermal efficiency of a simple Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid. Air is at 100 kPa and 300 K at the compressor inlet. Also, assume constant specific heats for air at room temperature. Determine the net work output and the thermal efficiency for all combinations of the following parameters, and draw conclusions from the results. Pressure ratio: 5, 8, 14 Maximum cycle temperature: 800, 1200, 1600 K Compressor isentropic efficiency: 80, 100 percent Turbine isentropic efficiency: 80, 100 percent
