Open Gas Turbine - calculate T2, T3, T4, efficiency

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating temperatures T2, T3, T4, and efficiency for an open gas turbine, given a pressure ratio of Ο€ = 10 and initial temperature T1 of 293K. The user successfully calculated T2 using the formula T2 = T1*(Ο€)^(k-1/k), resulting in T2 = 565.783K. However, they are unsure how to determine pressures p1 and p2 from T1 and T2, which are necessary for further calculations. They also mention having values for mass flow rate and heat capacity but are unclear on how to relate these to pressure calculations. The thread seeks guidance on these pressure relationships to proceed with the analysis.

Hello,

I am trying to solve a problem about an open Gas Turbine. The given information would be:

- An open gas turbine draws in air from the surroundings having the m, cp, T1 and constant kL with the next values:

,
1656942208959.png
- The air flow is heat over natural gas supplied:
1656942331209.png
- The pressure ratio is πœ‹ = 10.
- In the turbine, the exhaust gas is brought to ambient pressure relaxed.
- For simplification it is assumed:
ο‚· Medium is an ideal gas.
ο‚· The mass flow of the supplied natural gas can be neglected
become: π‘šΜ‡ 𝑧𝑒 = π‘šΜ‡ π‘Žπ‘ = π‘šΜ‡ 𝐿𝑒𝑓𝑑
ο‚· The heat capacity of the exhaust gas corresponds to the heat capacity
of the air: 𝑐𝑝,π‘Žπ‘–π‘Ÿ β‰ˆ 𝑐𝑝,π‘Žπ‘π‘”π‘Žπ‘ 
ο‚· The isentropic exponent is the same for all states valid.​

I should calculate T2, T3, T4 and efficiency.

But I am stuck at the temperatures calculation.

- I know T1=20ΒΊ+273=293K.
- I know the relation:

With this I can calculate T2=T1*(πœ‹)^(k-1/k)=293K*(10)^(0.4/1.4)=565.783K

- But now, how can I calculate the p1 or p2, the pressures from T1/T2. If I get p1 or p2, then I can calculate through their relationships with πœ‹, the other pressure and go further to p3. I also been given the mair and cp, but not sure how I can relate this to the pressures.

Thank you very much in advance.

Can you please provide the exact word-for-word statement of this problem?
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
