Consider a gas turbine engine, fueled by natural gas, forgenerating electricity.

A.) Calculate the adiabatic flame temperature for this system,assuming we’ll use about 110% TA.

B.) Estimate (calculate) the power output for this turbine, perlbm or kg of air.

C.) If I’d like to provide the generator with 12,000 shp (shafthorsepower), what air mass flow do I need?

D.) If this is an open cycle turbine, the exhaust gas hasconsiderable remaining energy. How much heat rejection is there inthe exhaust gas?

E.) Is it worth recovering some of that exhaust energy? Howmight I do it?
