Consider a gas turbine with turbine staging and reheating. It operates under the following conditions.
Inlet air at 285 K and 100 KPa
Burner operates at 600 kPa
Air leaves the burner at 1700 K
Reheat operates at 400 kPa and heats to 1700 K
Turbine exhaust to the ambient 200 kPa
All the devices are ideal
Determine
a) Heat transfer required in the reheat unit (KJ/kg)
b) Thermal efficiency of the plant
c) if it is a 113 MW power plant, what is the required flow rate of air?
