Mohammad Passandideh-Fard Teacher Assistants: S.Alavi, H.Janbazi Code M: Consider a gas-turbine cycle with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion. The pressure ratio across each compressor stage and each turbine stage is 8 to 1. The pressure at the entrance to the first compressor is 100 Kpa, the temperature entering each compressor is 20 C, and the temperature entering each turbine 1100 C. A regenerator is also incorporated into the cycle and it has an efficiency of 70 %. Determine the compressor work, the turbine work, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle. 123Study the effect of two stages of compression and two stages of expansion in a gas-turbine cycle. Plot thermal efficiency as a function of regenerators efficiency. Plot the T-s and P-v diagrams for the cycle.
