Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a simple combined cycle model that integrates Brayton and Rankine cycles. What components would you include, and how would you ensure maximum efficiency?
💡 Hint: Think creatively about component interactions.
If a combined cycle plant outputs 120 MW with a Brayton cycle contributing 80 MW and the Rankine cycle contributing the rest, what is the efficiency of the entire plant if it uses 200 MW of thermal energy?
💡 Hint: Revisit the efficiency calculation formula you learned.
