QUESTION 5 5 The thermal efficiency of any heat engine, including a gas turbine core, is temperature constrained. A gas turbine core is to run with an inlet air temperature T1 = 9 Celsius at a thermal efficiency nth = 30 %. Use the Carnot cycle to determine the minimum combustion chamber temperature that the gas turbine core must have, to satisfy the second law of thermodynamics. State your answer in degrees Kelvin to zero decimal places and enter the numerical value only. Partial credit is awarded for a reasonable approximation to the correct numerical answer.
