Agas turbine plant consists of two stage compressor with perfect intercooler and a single stage turbine. If the plant works between the temperature limits of 27oC and 727oC and 1 bar and 16 bar, find the net power of the plant per kg of air. Take specific heat at constant pressure as 1 kJ/kg K.

State and explain three types of Nozzle with neat sketch.

Derive the equation of exit velocity from the steam nozzle

In a gas turbine plant, the air is compressed in a single stage compressor from 1 bar to 9 bar and from an initial temperature of 27oC. The same air is then heated to a temperature of 527oC and then expanded in the turbine. The air is then reheated to a temperature of 527oC and then expanded in the second turbine. Find the maximum power that can be obtained from the installation, if the mass of air circulated per second is 2kg. Take specific heat at constant pressure as 1 kJ/kg K.

State the uses of gas turbine.
