A gas turbine power plant operates on a simple Brayton cycle with a pressure ratio of 10. The inlet temperature is 20°C, and the turbine inlet temperature is 1000°C. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Using the Brayton cycle equations, we can calculate the thermal efficiency: solucionario termodinamica cengel julio 9ed

η = 1 - (1/r^((γ-1)/γ)) = 1 - (1/10^((1.4-1)/1.4)) ≈ 40.1% A gas turbine power plant operates on a
