Consider a steam turbine, with inflow at 500oC and 7.9 MPa. The machine has a total-to-static efficiency ofηts=0.91, and the pre

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: $\dot m_{in} = 23.942 \frac{kg}{s}$ , $\dot H_{out} = 39632.62 kW$

Explanation:

Since there is no information related to volume flow to and from turbine, let is assume that volume flow at inlet equals to $\dot V = 1 \frac{m^{3}}{s}$ . Turbine is a steady-flow system modelled by using Principle of Mass Conservation and First Law of Thermodynamics:

Principle of Mass Conservation

$\dot m_{in} - \dot m_{out} = 0$

First Law of Thermodynamics

$- \dot W_{out} + \eta\cdot (\dot m_{in} \dot h_{in} - \dot m_{out} \dot h_{out}) = 0$

This 2 x 2 System can be reduced into one equation as follows:

$-\dot W_{out} + \eta \cdot \dot m \cdot ( h_{in}- h_{out})=0$

The water goes to the turbine as Superheated steam and goes out as saturated vapor or a liquid-vapor mix. Specific volume and specific enthalpy at inflow are required to determine specific enthalpy at outflow and mass flow rate, respectively. Property tables are a practical form to get information:

Inflow (Superheated Steam)

$\nu_{in} = 0.041767 \frac{m^{3}}{kg} \\h_{in} = 3399.5 \frac{kJ}{kg}$

The mass flow rate can be calculated by using this expression:

$\dot m_{in} =\frac{\dot V_{in}}{\nu_{in}}$

$\dot m_{in} = 23.942 \frac{kg}{s}$

Afterwards, the specific enthalpy at outflow is determined by isolating it from energy balance:

$h_{out} =h_{in}-\frac{\dot W_{out}}{\eta \cdot \dot m}$

$h_{out} = 1655.36 \frac{kJ}{kg}$

The enthalpy rate at outflow is:

$\dot H_{out} = \dot m \cdot h_{out}$

$\dot H_{out} = 39632.62 kW$
