Air enters a turbine of an air-standard Brayton cycle at 1000 kPa, 1000 K, and expands to 100 kPa in two stages. The air is reheated between the stages at a constant pressure of 400 kPa to 1000 K. A regenerator with an effectiveness of 80% is also used in the cycle. Assuming variable specific heat, with an enthalpy of 500 kJ/kg for state 2, determine:

a. Total turbine work (kJ/kg).
b. Heat transfer for the reheat process (kJ/kg).
c. Thermal efficiency of the cycle.

If the thermal strain developed in polyimide film during deposition is given as 0.0044. assume room temperature is kept at 17.3 c, and thermal coefficient of expansion for the film and the substrate are 54 x 10^-6c^-1 and 3.3 x 10^-6c^-1respectively. calculate the deposition temperature.

For the closed feedwater heater below, feedwater enters state 3 at a pressure of 2000 psia and temperature of 420 °f at a rate of ix10 ibhr. the feedwat extracted steam enters state 1 at a pressure of 1000 psia and enthalpy of 1500 btu/lbm. the extracted er leaves at an enthalpy of 528.7 btu/lbm steam leaves as a saturated liquid. (16) a) determine the mass flow rate of the extraction steam used to heat the feedwater (10) b) determine the terminal temperature difference of the closed feedwater heater
