In an open-cycle gas turbine plant, the air enters at 15°C and 1 bar, and is compressed in a compressor to a pressure ratio of 15. The air from the exit of compressor is first heated in a heat exchanger which is 75% efficient by turbine exhaust gas and then in a combustor to a temperature of 1600 K. The same gas expands in a two-stage turbine such that the expansion work is maximum. The exhaust gas from h.p. Turbine is reheated to 1500 K and then expands to L.P. turbine. The isentropic efficiencies of compressor and turbine may be taken as 86% and 88% respectively. The mechanical efficiencies for compressor and turbine are 97% each. The alternator efficiency is 98%. The output of turbo-alternator is 250 MW. Work out the following:

         (i) Sketch the system and show the       process on T-S diagram.

         (ii)  The cycle thermal efficiency

         (iii)  The work ratio

         (iv)  The specific power output

         (v)  The mass flow rate of air
