P09-169 Equations Thermodynamics - An Engineering Approach (5th Ed) - Cengel, Boles - Mcgraw-Hill (2006) - pg. 549 Ciclul Brayton cu regenerare (aer, heliu) cu comprimare si destindere in trepte, c p =ct. Sa se determine efectul numarului de trepte de comprimare si destindere asupra randamentului unui ciclu Brayton regenerativ ideal cu comprimare si destindere in trepte. Raportul total de comprimare e 12, iar aerul intra in fiecare treapta a compresorului cu 300K si in fiecare treapta a turbinei cu 1200 K. Daca pentru aer se considera calduri specifice constante la temperatura ambianta, sa se determine randamentul termic al ciclului prin varierea numarului de trepte. Sa se compare rezultatele obtinute cu randamentul unui ciclu Ericsson care functioneaza intre aceleasi limite de temperatura. $UnitSystem K kpa F luid$ = Air (1) Input data for fluid $If Fluid$= Air C P = 1.005 [kj/kg K] ; k = 1.4; (2) $Else C P = 5.1926 [kj/kg K] ; k = 1.667; (3) $EndIf 1
