Air enters the compressor of a simple gas turbine at p1 = 14lbf/in2, T1 = 520°R. The isentropic efficiencies of the compressorand turbine are 83 and 87%, respectively. The compressor pressureratio is 16 and the temperature at the turbine inlet is 2500°R. Thevolumetric flow rate of the air entering the compressor is 9000ft3/min. Use an air-standard analysis.

Determine the net power developed, in Btu/h.
