 Numerical
1) A gas turbine plant works within temp . limits of 25 degree c & 645
degree The pressure limits are 1 bar & 4.5 bar respectively .estimate
thermal efficiency of plant & the power available in kw if air
consumption is 1.2 kg/sec the calorific value of fuels 43000 kj/kg .

2) A simple closed cycle gas turbine works between temp limits of 30

degree & 750 degree . The pressure limits are 1 bar & 5 bar resp. if air
is circulated at the rule of 2.2 kg/ sec .determine the power developed
by the turbine .

3) A simple constant pressure gas turbine plants drawing air at 356

degree & compresses it through pressure ratio of 6. the air passes to
the combustion chamber & after combustion of fuel gases enter the
turbine at a temp of 800 degree . & expand to initial low pressure .
assuming isentropic efficiency of both compressor & turbine ad 80 %
calculate the thermal efficiency of the plant ( take =1.4 for air &
gases )

4) In an oil gas turbine installation air is taken at 1 bar & 32 degree c the
air is compressed to 4 bar & then heated by burning the oil to temp 600
degree if the air flows at the rate of 60 kg/min find the power developed
by the plant take = air as 1.4 & Cp as 1.0
5) in a constant pressure open cycle gas turbine air enters at 1 bar & 20
degree and leaves the compressor at 5 bar . the following data will
recorded
1) Temperature of gases entering the turbine = 680 degree
2) Pressure loss in combustion chamber = 0.1 bar
3) Compressor efficiency = 85 %
4) Turbine efficiency = 85 %

= 1.4 & cp = 1.024 kj/ kg.k for air & gas )

Calculate 1) The quantity of air circulation(if plant develop 1065 kw)

2)heat supplied per kg of air circulation.
3)The thermal efficiency of cycle .
(mass of fuel may be neglected ).
