Question

He compressor of a gas turbine plant, operating on an ideal intercooled Brayton cycle, accomplishes an overall compression ratio of 6 in a two-stage compression process, Intercooling is used to cool the air coming out from the first stage to the inlet temperature of the first stage, before its entry to the second stage. Air enters the compressor at 300 K and 100 kPa. If the properties of gas are constant, the intercooling pressure for minimum compressor work is________ kPa (round off to 2 decimal places).

Show Answer

Answer :

Correct answer is : 244.94

Given, P1 = 100 kPa, rp = 6

P2 = 6 × 100 = 600 kPa

Intermediate pressure = 100 × 600 = 244.95 k P a
