Problem
Repeat Problem 10.21, but include a regenerator with 75% efficiency in the cycle.
Problem 10.21
A large stationary Brayton cycle gas-turbine power plant delivers a power output of 100 MW to an electric generator. The minimum temperature in the cycle is 300 K, and the exhaust temperature is 750 K. The minimum pressure in the cycle is 100 kPa, and the compressor pressure ratio is 14:1. Calculate the power output of the turbine. What fraction of the turbine output is required to drive the compressor? What is the thermal efficiency of the cycle?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
