3. In a gas turbine plant air is compressed from 1.01 bar and 15 °C through a pressure ratio of 5. It is then heated in a combustion chamber at constant pressure to a temperature of 700 °C and expanded to atmospheric pressure in a turbine. The isentropic efficiencies of compression and expansion are respectively 0.8 and 0.85. Calculate (a) the cycle efficiency and (b) the work ratio. Assume that the properties of air do not change with temperature and may be taken as Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg K and y = 1.4.
