Findthe change in the specific enthalpy of thesteam as it passes through the turbine if (a)the entrance and exit are at the sameelevation and the entrance and exit velocitiesare negligible or (b) the entrance velocity is 50m/s and the exit velocity is 200 m/s, with theoutlet pipe 2.0 m above the inlet.

Consider a wind turbine that is situated in an area that has steady winds. The turbine rotates at 16 RPM. The mass flow rate through the turbine is 41,025 kg/s. The tip velocity is 260 km/hr. Take the air density to be 1.31 kg/m² and assume 180kW of electric power is generated by the turbine. Determine the following: a. Average velocity of the air b. The efficiency of the turbine c. Assuming winds are steady for 95% of the year, is this a suitable location for a wind turbine? Explain.
The compressor (10 hp) pulls in gas at 150 psi and 10.5 ft3/lbm velocity at the entrance is 2 ft/s, exhausts the gas at 900 psi and 0.0541 ft³/lbm, velocity at the exit is 55 ft/s. Heat is lost at a rate of 60 BTU/s. Determine the mass flow rate of the air (Ibm/s).

A 5 KW pump is used to raise the elevation of a lake's water by 25 m from the free surface of the lake. The pipe inlet is 2 m below the free surface. The temperature of water increases by 0.05oC during the process as a result of the frictional effects. Neglecting any heat transfer and kinetic energy changes, determine the mass flow rate of the water.
A man purchases a turbine for use in his factory. He sets it up so that there is steam entering at 5000 kpa and at 873.15 Kelvin at a constant rate of 100 m/sec. This steam seems to leave the turbine at 100 m/sec and of 95% quality at a pressure of 0.01MPa. The manufacturer sticker claims the turbine has a power output known to be 56400 Joules per second. Find the theoretical mass flowrate of the steam through the device [kg/sec] and the area of the outlet [m^2]

Water enters a pump at 350 kPa at a rate of 1 kg/s. The water leaving the pump enters a turbine in which the pressure is reduced and electricity is produced. The shaft power input to the pump is 1 KW snd the shaft power output the turbine is 1 kW. Both the pump and turbine are 90% efficient. If the elevation and velocity of the water remain constant through out the flow and irreversible headloss is 1 m, the pressure of water in kPa at the turbine exit is A. 131 B. 129 C. 126 D. 127 With F.B.D
