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:

,

- The air flow is heat over natural gas supplied:

- 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.
