Answer:

- the fraction of the turbine work output used to drive the compressor is 50%

- the thermal efficiency is 29.6%

Explanation:

given information:

T_{1} = 300 k

P_{1} = 700 kPa

T_{2} = 580 K

Qin = 950 kj/kg

efficiency, η = 86%  = 0.86

Assume, Ideal gas specific heat capacities of air, C_{p} = 1.005

k = 1.4

(a) the fraction of the turbine work output used to drive the compressor

Qin = C_{p} (T_{3} - T_{2})

T_{3} - T_{2} = Qin / C_{p}

T_{3} = Qin / C_{p} + T_{2}

thus,

T_{3} = \frac{950 kJ/kg}{1.005 kj/kgK} + 580 K
[tex]T_{3} = 1525 K

\frac{T_{4} }{T_{3} } = (\frac{P_{4} }{P_{3} }) ^{k-1/k}\

\frac{P_{4} }{P_{3} }  = \frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }

so,

\frac{T_{4} }{T_{3} } = (\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }) ^{k-1/k}\

T_{4} = T_{3} (\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }) ^{k-1/k}\

                        = 1525 K  (\frac{100}{700} )^{1.4-1/1.4}

                        = 875 K

W_{in} = C_{p} (T_{2} - T_{1})

                          = 1.005 kj/kgK  (580 K - 300 K)

                          = 281.4 kJ/kg

W_{out} = η C_{p} (T_{3} - T_{4})

                            = 0.86 (1.005 kj/kgK) (1525 k - 875 K)

                            = 562.2 kJ/kg

therefore,

the fraction of turbine = \frac{W_{in} }{W_{out} }

                                     = \frac{281.4}{562.2}

                                     = 50%

(b) the thermal efficiency

η = ΔW/Q_{in}

  = (W_{out} - W_{in})/Q_{in}

  = \frac{562.2}{281.4}/950

  = 29.6%
