Question

Helium is used as the working fluid in an ideal brayton cycle. The gas enters at 27C,20 bar pressure. The gas is heated to 1000C,60 bar pressure before entering the turbine. The cooler returns the hot turbine exhaust to the temperature of the comressor inlet. Take (Cp)Helium=5.1926 kJ/kgK. The net work for 2 kg of helium is ____ kJ.

Solution

The correct option is A 2982.6

γ=1.66

(Cp)=5.1926 kJ/kgK

T1=27C=300 K

T2=T1(P2P1)γ1/γ=300(6020)1.661/1.66=464.32 K

T3=1000C=1273 K

T4=T3(P3/P4)γ1/γ=1273(3)0.66/1.66=822.4 K

Wnet=WTWC

=mcp(T3T4)mcp(T2T1)

=2×5.1926(1273822.4)2×5.1926(464.32300)

=2972.16 kJ
