Mechanical Engineering

Agas turbine operates with two stages of compression with anintercooler between the stages. Air enters the first stage at 100kPa and 300 K. The pressure ratio across each compressor stage is 5to 1 and each stage has an isentropic efficiency of 85%. Air exitsthe intercooler at 330 K. The maximum cycle temperature is 1500 Kand the cycle has a single turbine stage that works isentropically.Calculate the mass flow rate of the air if the power output is 30MWand the cycle thermal efficiency.
