Mechanical Engineering > GATE 2013 SET-3 > Gas Power Cycles
In a simple Brayton cycle, the pressure ratio is 8 and temperatures at the entrance of compressor and turbine are 300 K and 1400 K, respectively. Both compressor and gas turbine have isentropic efficiencies equal to 0.8. For the gas, assume a constant value of cp (specific heat at constant pressure) equal to 1 kJ/kgK and ratio of specific heats as 1.4. Neglect changes in kinetic and potential energies.

The power required by the compressor in kW/kg of gas flow rate is
A
194.7
B
243.4
C
304.3
D
378.5

Explanation

Correct : c
