The steam-condenser pressure is 5 psia and the isentropic


Atmospheric air enters the air compressor of a simple combined gas-steam power system at 14.7 psia and 80°F. The air compressor's compression ratio is 10; the gas cycle's maximum temperature is 2100°F; and the air compressor and turbine have an isentropic efficiency of 90 percent. The gas leaves the heat exchanger 50°F hotter than the saturation temperature of the steam in the heat exchanger. The steam pressure in the heat exchanger is 800 psia, and the steam leaves the heat exchanger at 600°F. The steam-condenser pressure is 5 psia and the isentropic efficiency of the steam turbine is 95 percent. Determine the overall thermal efficiency of this combined cycle. For air, use constant specific heats at room temperature.
