pressure ratio of 5, an air inlet temperature of 60°F (15.6°C), a compressor
discharge temperature of 1500°F (815.6°C), and performance in accordance
with Fig. 5? Determine the cycle thermal efficiency and work ratio.
FIGURE 5 (a) Schematic of regenerative gas turbine; (b), (c), and
(d) gas-turbine performance based on a regenerator effectiveness of 70
percent, compressor and turbine efficiency of 85 percent; air inlet =
60°F (15.6°C); no pressure losses.
What is the power output of a regenerative gas turbine if the work input to the
compressor is 4400 hp (3281.1 kW)?
