h=(C/100)/(Mc)##Equating coefficients of the carbon from the equation
e=(H/100)/Mh##Equating coefficients of the hydrogen from the equation
y=(CO/100)/(CO2/100)##From dry exhaust gas analysis for solving
a=h/(1+y)##The coefficient of the carbondioxide in the product side of the equation
b=h-a##The coefficient of the carbonmonoxide in the product side of the equation
z=b/(CO/100)##The sum of coefficients of the product side of the equation
x=z-(b/2)+(e/2)##Mol of air supplied in kmol
wa=x*28.96##Air supplied in kg/kg fuel
wf=1##Assuming 1 kg of fuel supplied
T2=(t1+273)*(p2/p1)**((i-1)/i)##Temperature at the outlet of the compressor in K
T3=(((wa*Cp*(T2-T0))+(wf*CV*1000))/((wa+wf)*(Cp1)))+T0##Maximum temperature of the cycle in K
T4=T3/((4)**((i1-1)/i1))##Temperature at point of the cycle in K
T5=((Re/100)*(T4-T2))+T2##Temperature at point of the cycle in K
Wc=wa*Cp*(T2-(t1+273))##Work done by the compressor in kW
Wt=23.54*Cp1*(T3-T4)##Work done by the turbine in kW
Q1=23.54*Cp1*(T3-T5)##Total work done by the system in kW
nc=(Wt-Wc)/Q1##Efficiency of the cycle
nc1=nc*100##Efficiency of the cycle in %
spc=3600/(Wt-Wc)##Specific fuel consumption in kg/kWh

#Output
print " (a) The maximum temperature of the cycle T3 = %3.0f K \n (b)Thermal efficiency of the plant = %3.3f or %3.2f percentage\n (c) Specific fuel consumption = %3.3f kg/kWh "%(T3,nc,nc1,spc)

 (a) The maximum temperature of the cycle T3 = 1168 K
(b)Thermal efficiency of the plant = 0.492 or 49.23 percentage
(c) Specific fuel consumption = 0.641 kg/kWh
