    The document contains two questions regarding aircraft engine performance calculations. The first question asks to determine the power and thermal efficiency of an engine operating on a Brayton cycle with a pressure ratio of 10, heat addition of 500 kW, air flow of 1 kg/s, and inlet air at 70 kPa and 0 degrees C. The second question asks to determine the thermal efficiency of a system where air enters at 100 kPa and 17 degrees C, the compressor pressure ratio is 4, and 300 kJ/kg of heat is added in combustion, assuming isentropic compressor and turbine operations and constant specific heats.

    Assignment-1

    (B.Tech-ME 7th Semester)

    Q. An aircraft engine operates on a simple ideal Brayton cycle with a pressure ratio of 10.Heat is

    added to the cycle at a rate of 500 kW; air passes through the engine at a rateof 1 kg/s; and the air

    at the beginning of the compression is at 70 kPa and 0 degree centigrade. Determine the power

    produced by this engine and its thermal efficiency.

    Q. Air enters a gas turbine at100 kPa and 17 degree centigrade. The pressure ratio across

    compressor is 4; 300 kJ/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber. Determine

    this system’s thermal efficiency. Assume isentropic operations for compressor and the turbine

    stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.
