A Brayton gas turbine cycle has two stages of compression and two stages of expansion. The pressure ratio across each stage of the compressor and turbine is 3. The air enters each stage of the compressor at 300K and each stage of the turbine at 1200K. If the efficiency of each compressor is 80% and each turbine is 85% Determine: using variable specific heat method for: Case 1) no regenerator a) The back work ratio b) The thermal efficiency

Find the mass of the gas : A piston/cylinder device initially contains 0.1 cu. m. of air at 27 C. A very light piston that moves without friction is connected to a spring that is initially at its equilibrium position (no force). The spring constant is 100 kN/m and the area of ..

Compute the fugacity’s of ethane and n-butane : Compute the fugacity’s of ethane and n-butane in an equimolar mixture at 373.15K at 1, 10, and 15 bar total pressure assuming that the Lewis-Randall rule is correct.

Heater keeps the temperature within the tank constant : A 380-liter tank contains steam, initially at 300 kPa and 400°C. A valve is opened and steam flows out of the tank at a constant rate of 0.005 kg/s. During this process, a heater keeps the temperature within the tank constant.
