Answer:64.10 Btu/lbm

Explanation:

Work done in an isothermally compressed steady flow device is expressed as

Work done = P₁V₁ In { P₁/ P₂}

Work done=RT In { P₁/ P₂}

where P₁=13 psia

          P₂= 80 psia

Temperature =°F Temperature is convert to  °R

T(°R) = T(°F) + 459.67

T(°R) = 55°F+ 459.67

=514.67T(°R)

According to the properties of molar gas, gas constant and critical properties table, R  which s the gas constant of air is given as 0.06855 Btu/lbm

Work = RT In { P₁/ P₂}

0.06855 x 514.67 In { 13/ 80}

=0.06855 x 514.67 In {0.1625}

= 0.06855 x 514.67  x -1.817

=- 64.10Btu/lbm

The required work therefore for this  isothermal compression is 64.10 Btu/lbm

Air enters the compressor of a simple gas turbine at 100 kPa, 300 K, with a volumetric flow rate of 5 m3/s. The compressor press
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

a) 3581.15067 kw

b) 95.4%

Explanation:

<u>Given data:</u>

compressor efficiency = 85%

compressor pressure ratio = 10

Air enters at:    flow rate of 5m^3/s , pressure = 100kPa, temperature = 300 K

At turbine inlet : pressure = 950 kPa, temperature = 1400k

Turbine efficiency = 88% , exit pressure of turbine = 100 kPa

A) Develop a full accounting of the exergy increase of the air passing through the gas turbine combustor in kW
