Repeat Prob. 9-88 for a pressure ratio of 15.
Prob. 9-88:
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 rate of 1 kg/s; and the air at the beginning of the compression is at 70 kPa and 0°C. Determine the power produced by this engine and its thermal efficiency. Use constant specific heats at room temperature.
