Question:

Using EES (or other) software, determine the effects of pressure ratio on the net work output and the thermal efficiency of a simple Brayton cycle for a maximum cycle temperature of 1800 K. Take the working fluid to be air that is at 100 kPa and 300 K at the beginning of the compression process, and assume variable specific heats. Vary the pressure ratio from 5 to 24 with an increment of 1. Tabulate and plot your results against the pressure ratio. At what pressure ratio does the net work output become a maximum? At what pressure ratio does the thermal efficiency become a maximum?
