A gas-turbine power plant operating on an ideal Brayton cycle has a pressure ratio (P2/P1= P3/P4) of 10. The air temperature is -0 ºC at the compressor inlet and the temperature at the turbine inlet is 4 times the temperature at the compressor inlet. Utilizing the air-standard assumptions, determine (a) the gas temperature at the exits of the compressor and the turbine, (b) the specific work, and (c) the thermal efficiency

A gas-turbine power plant operating on an ideal Brayton cycle has a pressure ratio (P2/P1=
P3/P4) of 10. The air temperature is -0 ºC at the compressor inlet and the temperature at
the turbine inlet is 4 times the temperature at the compressor inlet. Utilizing the air-standard
assumptions, determine (a) the gas temperature at the exits of the compressor and the turbine,
(b) the specific work, and (c) the thermal efficiency
