Air enters a three-stage gas turbine at 100 kPa and 17 degree Celsius. This system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and inters cooling. The pressure ratio across each compressor is 14.16 (this is 14.16, NOT 14 and 16!); 300 kJ/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20 degrees celsius. Determine the system's thermal efficiency.

Determine the response of the measurement system : A measurement system can be modelled by the equation given below, (5/8)y' +y=F(t). The output signal is initially steady at 5 V. The input signal is then suddenly increased to 8 V. Determine the response of the measurement system.

The two purposes of amplification for digital systems : The two purposes of amplification for digital systems are (i) to improve signal-to-noise ratio and (ii) to make good use of the dynamic range of the digitizer; in other words, to ensure the best resolution possible.

What is the gain required to make the digital resolution : The voltage output from a 0–50 psi pressure transducer will vary from 0–5 mV. The input/output relationship is linear. The signal will be recorded with a 12-bit A/D converter with a 0-10 V input range. The voltage output needs to be amplified before ..
