    This document discusses the thermodynamic cycle of a gas turbine plant using helium as the working fluid. It includes: 1) Calculations to show the adiabatic constant γ = 5/3 for helium. 2) A schematic of the temperature-entropy diagram for the plant's ideal cycle both with and without reheating between the turbine stages. 3) Calculations of the ideal cycle efficiency and specific power output for each case, with efficiencies of 36.9% using reheating and 32.6% without.

    4 (a) Show for helium that =5/3 where is the adiabatic constant.

    A closed-cycle single-shaft gas turbine plant using helium as the working fluid incorporates
    the following components in the given order: (a) a compressor, (b) a heater, (c) a two-stage
    turbine with reheater and (d) a cooler.

    The maximum and minimum pressures and temperatures in the cycle are 40 bar and 700 C,
    and 10 bar and 25 C respectively, with reheat to 700 C. The pressure in the reheater is
    optimum for maximum specific power (power per kg/s of gas flow).

    The molar mass of helium is 4 kg/kmol and the molar heat capacity at constant volume for
    helium is 3/2R
    ~
    where R
    ~
    =8.3145 kJ /kmol K is the universal molar gas constant.

    (b) Sketch the T-s diagram for the plant and indicate pressures and temperatures between the
    components if
    (i) the reheater is used,
    (ii) the reheater is by-passed.

    (c) Calculate the ideal cycle efficiency and specific power for each case. Assume that there are
    no losses in the cycle.
