An ideal air-standard Brayton cycle operates at steady state with compressor inlet conditions of 290 K and 95 kPa and a fixed turbine inlet temperature of 1650 K. For a compressor pressure ratio of 18, determine:
(a) the exhaust temperature of the cycle, in K.
(b) the back work ratio.
(c) the net work developed per unit mass flowing, in kJ/kg.
(d) the heat addition per unit mass flowing, in kJ/kg.
(e) the thermal efficiency for the cycle.
