Ideal Cycle
The assumption of ideal conditions: 1. Compression and expansion processes are reversible and adiabatic. 2. The change of kinetic energy of the working fluid is negligible. 3. There are no pressure losses. 4. The working fluid has the same composition throughout the cycle and is perfect gas with constant specific heat. 5. The mass flow of gas is constant throughout the cycle.
Heat-exchange cycle
This cycle is use to increase the efficiency But, for higher value of r a heat exchanger would cool the air leaving the compressor and then the efficiency decrease.
It can be concluded that to obtain an appreciable improvement in efficiency by heat exchanger a) A value of r appreciably less than the optimum for maximum specific work output should be used b) It is not necessary to use a higher cycle pressure ratio as the max cycle temperature is increased.
Reheat cycle
Increasing the specific work output can be obtained by splitting the expansion and reheating the gas between the HP &LP turbine.
Slightly more work than that required for the compression process will be necessary to overcome bearing friction. The value Cp and of the working fluid vary throughout the cycle due to changes of temperature and chemical composition. With internal combustion, mass flow through the turbine might be thought to be greater than that through the compressor by virtue of the fuel added.
Stagnation properties
The kinetic energy terms in steady flow energy equation can be accounted for implicity by making use of stagnation enthalpy. Stagnation Enthalpy 2 Phisically the h0 is the 0 = + enthalpy which a gas 2 stream of enthalpy h and Stagnation Temperature 2 velocity C would posses 0 = + when brought to rest 2 adiabatically and without Stagnation pressure 1 work transfer 0 0 =
Polytropic efficiency Defined as the isentropic efficiency of an elemental stage in the process such that it is constant throughout the whole process.

Pressure losses
In the combustion chamber a loss in stagnation pressure occurs due to a) the aerodynamic resistance of flame-stabilizing and mixing devices. b) momentum changes produce by the exothermic reaction.
Pressure losses have the effect decreasing the turbine pressure ratio relative to the compressor pressure ratio and thus reduce the net work output from the plant The pressure loss in combustor can be minimized by using large combustion chamber with low velocities.
Mechanical Losses
In all gas turbine all the power from turbine is transmitted directly to the compressor without any gearing, any loss that occurs is therefore due only to bearing and windage. This loss is very small (1% of the power) Losses can be significant especially for small gas turbine of low power.
Bleed Flows
Turbine: It is possible to operate with uncooled blades up to 1350-1400 K It can be assumed that the mass flow remain constant. At higher temperature it is necessary to extract air to cool both stator and rotor blade (bleeds) The required bleeds may amount to 15% or more of the compressor delivery flow Cooling the compressor flow will cause some reduction in the effective temperature at entry rotor. And this effect will carrying out the enthalpy balance
