Interpretation:
In an adiabatic hydro turbine find out outlet temperature, power output of the turbine.
Concept introduction:
For a steady state adiabatic turbine, in and out pressures are fixed. Hence, an isentropic process of turbine is called idealized process. There is no heat transfer occur in the turbine, which indicates that work output is the desired power output of a turbine.
For adiabatic turbine from first law of
Where,
Q = Heat absorbed/ released by the system (kJ/kg)
W = Work done by/on the system (kJ/kg)
Outlet temperature of water can be calculated using equation 7.25 given in book (Introduction of
Where,
V = Specific volume (m3/kg)
