A stationary gas turbine power plant operates on a simple ideal Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid. The air enters the compressor at 95 kPa and 290 K and the turbine at 760 kPa and 1100 K. Heat is transferred to the air at a rate of 35,000 kW. Determine the power delivered by this plant.

1) Assuming constant specific heats at room temperature
2) Accounting for the variation for specific heats with temperature
