A gas-turbine power plant operating on the simple Brayton cycle has a pressure ratio of 7. Air enters the compressor at 0°C and
100 kPa. The maximum cycle temperature is 1500 K. The compressor has an isentropic efficiency of 80 percent, and the turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 90 percent. Assume constant properties for air at 300 K with cv = 0.718 kJ/kg·K, cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·K, R = 0.287 kJ/kg·K, and k = 1.4.a) sketch the T-s diagram for the cycle.
b) if the net power output is 150 MW, determine the volume flow rate of the air into the compressor, in m^3/s.
c) for a fixed compressor inlet velocity and flow area, explain the effect of increasing compressor inlet temperature (i.e., summertime operation versus wintertime operation) on the inlet mass flow rate and the net power output with all other parameters of the problem being the same.

"The equation can be used to calculate the power absorbed by any surface" statement concerning the Stefan-Boltzmann equation is correct.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
According to Stefan Boltzmann equation, the power radiated by black body radiation source is directly proportionate to the fourth power of temperature of the source. So the radiation transferred is absorbed by another surface and that absorbed power will also be equal to the fourth power of the temperature. So the equation describes the relation of net radiation loss with the change in temperature from hotter temperature to cooler temperature surface.
So this law is application for calculating power absorbed by any surface.
