9.43 An ideal air-standard Brayton cycle operates at steady state with compressor inlet conditions of 300 K and 100 kPa and a fixed turbine inlet temperature of 1700 K. For the cycle, (a) determine the net work developed per unit mass flowing, in kJ/kg, and the thermal efficiency for a compressor pressure ratio of 8. (b) plot the net work developed per unit mass flowing, in kJ/kg, and the thermal efficiency, each versus compressor pressure ratio ranging from 2 to 50.

The net work output from the cycle = 520.67

The efficiency of Brayton cycle = 0.448

Explanation:

Compressor inlet temperature = 300 K

Turbine inlet temperature = 1700 K

Pressure ratio = 8

For the compressor the temperature - pressure relation is given by the formula,

⇒ =

⇒

⇒ = 543.42 K

This is the temperature at compressor outlet.

Same relation for turbine we can write this as,

⇒ =

⇒ =

⇒ = 938.5 K

This is the temperature at turbine outlet.

Now the work output from the turbine =

Put all the values in above formula we get,

⇒ = 1 × 1.005 × ( 1700 - 938.5 )

This is the work output from the turbine.

Now the work input to the compressor is =

Put all the values in above formula we get,

⇒ = 1 × 1.005 × ( 543.42 - 300 )

⇒ = 244.63

This is the work input to the compressor.

Net work output from the cycle

⇒ = 765.3 - 244.63

This is the net work output from the cycle.

The thermal efficiency is given by

This is the efficiency of Brayton cycle.
