How to differentiate between low and very low? Please explain it to know.

Maximum power turbine is consumed by compressor itself and also air is working Media so max Power loss.

Because, efficiency = 1- (heat reject / heat supply) in case of simple gas turbine.

70% of the power produced by the turbine is used to run the compressor itself.

I think that, since the specific volume (reciprocal of density) of air is high, the compression of air requires more work.

Hence, the major fraction of the work developed by the turbine is utilized in driving the compressor.

Therefore, the efficiency of the simple gas turbine plant is too low.

Since efficiency is a function of pressure ratio in simple gas turbine (braton, joule) cycle.

Work ratio is just the fraction or percentage of the work that the turbine produces that is consumed by the pump.

Half and more the power produced by the turbine is used to complete motion in the compressor.
