Compare your calculations with the numbers calculated for the combined

Question 5:

A combined cycle power plant has a gas cycle similar to what was used in lectures on 02/13 with compressor and turbine isentropic efficiencies of 90%. The steam cycle is a SC reheat cycle similar to what was used in the lecture on 01/25 (Pages 7-10) but with pump and turbine isentropic efficiencies of 90%. Calculate the η, net work done in kJ/kg of air and heat added in kJ/kg of air for the combined cycle power plant. 

Compare your calculations with the numbers calculated for the combined cycle power plant in class on 02/15 and Homework Question 4.

Hint
Engineering To calculate the performance of the combined cycle power plant, we need to consider the two cycles: the gas cycle and the steam cycle. The gas cycle consists of a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine, while the steam cycle consists of a boiler, a turbine, a condenser, and a pump. The layout of the combined cycle power plant is shown below: ...
