Solution
For two-stage compression and expansion, the
work input is minimized and the work output is
maximized when both stages of the compressor
and the turbine have the same pressure ratio.
Thus,
Air enters each stage of the compressor at the same temperature, and each stage has
the same isentropic efficiency (100 percent in this case). Therefore, the temperature
(and enthalpy) of the air at the exit of each compression stage will be the same. A
similar argument can be given for the turbine.
Under these conditions, the work input to each stage of the compressor will be the
same, and so will the work output from each stage of the turbine.

Solution..
(b) With ideal regeneration
The addition of an ideal regenerator (no pressure drops, 100 % effectiveness)
does not affect the compressor work and the turbine work.
Therefore, the net work output and the back work ratio of an ideal gas-turbine cycle
are identical whether there is a regenerator or not.
A regenerator, however, reduces the heat input requirements by preheating the air
leaving the compressor, using the hot exhaust gases.
In an ideal regenerator, the compressed air is heated to the turbine exit
temperature T9 before it enters the combustion chamber.
Thus, under the air-standard assumptions, h5= h7= h9.
The heat input and the thermal efficiency in
this case are

Example-5
A gas turbine cycle takes in air at 250 C and atmospheric pressure. The
compression pressure ratio is 4. The compressor efficiency is 75%. The inlet
temperature to turbine is limited to 7500 C. What turbine efficiency would give
overall cycle efficiency=0%?

Example-6
In a simple gas turbine plant air enters the compressor at 27 0 C and 1 bar. It is
then heated in the combustion chamber to 700 0 C and then enters the turbine
and expands to 1 bar. The isentropic efficiency of compressor and turbine are
0.80 and 0.85 respectively and the combustion efficiency is 0.98. The fall in
pressure in the combustion chamber is 0.1 bar. Determine
(a) The thermal efficiency.
(b) The back work ratio.
(c) The work ratio
(d) The air rate in kg/kW/hr
(e) The specific fuel consumption
(f) The air-fuel ratio
For air,
Cp=1.005 kJ/kg.K; =1.4
For combustible gas
Cp=1.147 kJ/kg.K;
C.V of fuel=42700 kJ/kg

Example-7
An open cycle gas turbine plant has a 1-stage compressor and turbine
incorporating a heat exchanger. The air suction is at 1 bar and 290 K. For an
overall pressure ratio of 4.5 and shaft output of 4000 kW, the mass flow is 40
kg/s. If the thermal ratio of heat exchanger is 0.6 and isentropic efficiency of
compressor is 0.84, calculate the isentropic efficiency of turbine for a plant
thermal efficiency of 0.29
For air,
Cp=1.005 kJ/kg.K; =1.4
For combustible gas
Cp=1.07 kJ/kg.K;
=1.365

Starting.
- Better starting for GT especially on cold conditions.
- AGT requires lesser starting torque.
Noise.
GT quieter than diesel but, militarily less significant since, major source of
noise is due to tracks.
Smoke Emission.
GTs due to their continuous combustion at large AF ratio produce less smoke.
However diesel with pre combustion chambers can achieve good results.
RAM-D.
GT is simpler since it has 30% less components.
Time between overhauls for GT is in the range of 15,000-20,000 Km as
against 5,000-7,000 Kms for diesels.
MTBF is same when all the defects are accounted for. However, it is 89%
better for diesels if only the critical defects are considered.
Cost.
AGT costlier due to requirement of more expensive materials and higher
capital investment in production plant ( AGT costlier by approx $ 60,000 than
AVCR-1360).
