6.2 Performance Improvement of Gas Turbine Power Plants; Intercooling, Regeneration and Reheating
A gas turbine plant of 800 kW takes air at 100 kPa and 288 K with flow rate 6 kg/s. Pressure ratio=6, maximum temperature=900 K, regenerator effectiveness=80%, isentropic efficiencies of compressor and turbine=85%. Determine plant thermal efficiency and net power. Take Cp=1.005 kJ/kg·K and γ=1.4.
