Project
Starting from the general efficiency calculation procedure for a gas turbine with recuperator
sketched below, go through the derivation step by step and understand the basic physics behind the
procedure and discuss the special cases.

1) From the loss coefficient given in the Handout, make a smart choice and calculate the thermal
efficiency as a function of compressor pressure ratio with for the
following recuperator effectiveness and the temperature ratios:

1) Case 1:
2) Case 2:
3) Case 3:
4) Case 4: Set all losses equal to zero and calculate for no recuperator case the efficiency for an ideal
gas turbine cycle

Write a computer program in any language you know. Plot the results versus compressor pressure
ratio. The results are:

1) Engine net power as a function of compressor pressure ratio.

2) Engine thermal efficiency as a function of compressor pressure ratio.
3) Detailed T-S diagram for each case.
