Brayton Cycle Efficiency and Calculations

A 100 MW gas turbine power plant has a maximum temperature of 1600 K, minimum temperature of 300 K, minimum pressure of 100 kPa, and compressor pressure ratio of 14 to 1. The document asks to calculate the power output of the turbine, the fraction of turbine output required to drive the compressor, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle. It then provides additional gas turbine related calculation problems involving work, temperatures, pressures, efficiencies, and more.
