Consider an ideal air-standard cycle for a gas-turbine, jet propulsion unit, such as that shown
in Fig. 12.9. The pressure and temperature entering the compressor are 90 kPa, 290 K. The
pressure ratio across the compressor is 14 to 1, and the turbine inlet temperature is 1500 K.
When the air leaves the turbine, it enters the nozzle and expands to 90 kPa. Determine the
pressure at the nozzle inlet and the velocity of the air leaving the nozzle.
2. A gas turbine expands 6 kg/s of air from 8 bar and 700oC to 1 bar isentropically. =
1.4 cp = 1005 J/kg K Calculate the exhaust temperature and the power output.
(Answers 537.1 K and 2.628 MW)
3. A gas turbine uses a standard Joule cycle but there is friction in the compressor and
turbine. The air is drawn into the compressor at 1 bar 15oC and is compressed with an
isentropic efficiency of 94% to a pressure of 9 bar. After heating, the gas temperature
is 1000oC. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is also 94%. The mass flow rate is
2.1 kg/s. Determine the following. 1. The net power output. 2. The thermal efficiency
of the plant. = 1.4 and cp = 1.005 kJ/kg K.
