QUESTION:
Air enters the compressor of a gas turbine power plant operating at steady state at 290 K, 100 kPa and exits at 420 K, 330 kPa. Stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Using the ideal gas model for air, determine the isentropic compressor efficiency.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 1
We have to determine the isentropic compressor efficiency.
The isotropic efficiency is given by the expression
The value of can be found by using the below equation and from the table A-22 in the book .
=
=
and are the pressure of the air at the inlet and exit of the compressor.
