Question
An adiabatic steam turbine in a small electric power plant is designed to accept 4500lg/hr of steam at 60 bar and 500°C and exhaust the steam at 10 bar.
In off peak hours the power output of the turbine is decreased by adjusting a throttling valve that reduces the turbine inlet stream pressure to 30 bar while keeping the flow rate constant (see Figure below) . What is the turbine inlet temperature, the steam temperature at the outlet of the turbine and the power output of the turbine?

Neglect changes in kinetic and potential energy. a) Write and simplify the equation that applies to this system. b) What are the specific enthalpies of the input and output current? c) What is the heat transfer in Kw? d) What is the specific volume and volumetric flow at the inlet? e) What is the specific volume and the volumetric flow at the outletarrow_forwardSeparate streams of air and water flow through the compressor and heat exchanger arrangement shown below. Steady-state operating data is provided in the figure. Heat transfer with the environment can be neglected, as can all potential and kinetic energy effects. Air is modeled as an ideal gas. Determine: (a) the total power required by both compressors, in kW. (b) the mass flow rate of the water, in kg / s.arrow_forward

Determine the range of the back pressure over which (a) shocks appear in the nozzle, (b) oblique shocks form at the exit, and (c) expansion waves form. (d) Calculate the mass flow rate through the nozzle for the case in which a normal shock appears at the exit plane.arrow_forwardQuestion 2 A water pump driven by an 800 W electric motor is used to pump water from the ground level to a tank at the rate of 20000 L/hour. Water is being discharged into the tank at 10 meters above the ground; this is the maximum rise this pump can achieve. The water and the ambient temperatures are both 10 °C. The inlet and outlet pipe diameters for the pump are both 8 cm, respectively. Determine: (1)/ The average inlet linear flow velocity of the water; 2) Assuming the efficiency of the electric motor is 95%, calculate the efficieney-of the motor-pump unit; 3) The pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of the pump.arrow_forwardAir at 150 kPa and 25°C is transported through a 2-inch Schedule 40 commercial steel pipe. Consider that the air behaves as an ideal gas, that the flow is adiabatic and that the Mach number under these conditions of pressure and temperature is 0.35. Calculate the length of the pipe when the air pressure and temperature decrease to 54.375 kPa and -10.6°C.arrow_forward
