Consider the 1.6 MW ideal gas-turbine cycle, shown below, that consist of a compressor, combustor, and turbine. The isentropic compressor draws ambient air at 101 kPa and

and reject it at

and

, while the isentropic turbine draws air at

and

and rejects the exhaust at

and atmospheric pressure of 101 kPa . Heat in the amount of 8000 kW is added at the combustor by burning fuel. Using the partial successive substitution method, determine the high pressure in the cycle, the compressor exit temperature, the turbine exit temperature, and the air flowrate through the cycle. Assume ideal gas behavior throughout the cycle and a

and

constant at

and 1.4, respectively. Draw the information flow diagram clearly.
