A simple Brayton cycle using air as the working fluid has a pressure ratio
of 10. The minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycle are 290 K
and 1100 K, respectively. Determine:
(a) the air temperature at the compressor exit,
(b) the back work ratio, and (c) the thermal efficiency.
Assume variable specific heats conditions.
