Question:

Consider a combination of a gas turbine power plant and a steam power plant, as shown in Fig. P5.4. The gas turbine operates at higher temperatures (thus called a topping cycle) than the steam power plant (thus called a bottom cycle). Assume both cycles have a thermal efficiency of 32%. What is the efficiency of the overall combination, assuming Qin the gas turbine equals QH to the steam power plant?
