Question:

Consider an ideal air-standard Brayton cycle in which the air into the compressor is at 100 kPa, 20C, and the pressure ratio across the compressor is 12:1. The maximum temperature in the cycle is 1100C, and the air flow rate is 10 kg/s. Assume constant specific heat for the air, value from Table A.5. Determine the compressor work, the turbine work, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
