Air enters the compressor of an air-standard Brayton cycle witha volumetric flow rate of 60 m3/s at 0.8 bar, 280 K. Thecompressor pressure ratio is 17.5, and the maximum cycletemperature is 1950 K. For the compressor, the isentropicefficiency is 92% and for the turbine the isentropic efficiency is95%.


Determine:

(a) the net power developed, in kW.

(b) the rate of heat addition in the combustor, in kW.

(c) the percent thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Need some help with those questions. Thank you so much
