Sample Problem 1: Brayton Cycle
1. The intake of the compressor of an air standard Brayton cycle is
40,000 cfm at 15 psia and 90°F. The compression ratio, rk = 5 and the
temperature at the turbine inlet is 1440 degree Fahrenheit. The exit
pressure of the turbine is 15 psia. Determine the net work, thermal
efficiency and the mean effective pressure.

Sample Problem 2: Brayton Cycle
2. There are required 2,238 kW net from a gas turbine unit for pumping
of crude oil from the North Alaskan Slope. Air enters the compressor
section at 99.975kPa, 278K; the pressure ratio rp = 10. The turbine
section receives the hot gases at 1,111k. Assume the closed Brayton
cycle and find (a) the required air flow and (b) the thermal
efficiency.
