Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

Superheated vapor enters the turbine at 10 MPa, 480°C,

From the tables of superheated steam tables; the following values are obtained

h_1 = 3322.02 \ kJ/kg\\\\ s_1 = 6.52846 \ kJ/kg.K

Also; from the system, the isentropic line is 1-2 in which s_2 is in wet state

s_2 = s_{f \ 6 kpa} +xs_{fg \ 6 kpa}

s_2 =0.51624 + x(7.82)

s_2 =0.51624 + 7.82x

From the values obtained;

s_1 =s_2= 6.52846 \ kJ/kg.K

Therefore;

6.52846 = 0.51624+7.82x

6.52846 - 0.51624 = 7.82 x

6.01222  = 7.82 x

x = 6.01222/7.82

x = 0.7688

The enthalpy for this process at state (s_2) can be determined as follows:

h_2 = h _f +xh_{fg} \\ \\ h_2 = 150.15 +(0.77 \times 2415.92) \\ \\ h_2 =150.15 +( 1629.2584 )  \\ \\ h_2 =2010.4084   \ kJ/kg

The actual enthalpy at s_2 by using the isentropic efficiency of the turbine can determined by using the expression:

n_T = \dfrac{h_1-h_{2a}}{h_1-h_2}

0.8 = \dfrac{3322.02-h_{2a}}{3322.02-2010.4084}

0.8 = \dfrac{3322.02-h_{2a}}{1311.6116}

0.8 * {1311.6116}= {3322.02-h_{2a}

1049.28928=  {3322.02-h_{2a}

h_{2a}=   {3322.02- 1049.28928

h_{2a}=   2272.73072 kJ/kg

The work pump is calculated by applying the formula:

w_p = v_{f  \  6 kpa} (p_4-p_3)

w_p = 0.0010062 * (10000-6)

w_p = 0.0010062 *9994

w_p = 10.0559628 \  kJ/kg

However;

w_p = h_4 -h_3

From the process;

h_3 = h_{f(6 kpa)} = 150.15 \  kJ/kg

10.0559628 = h_4 - 150.15

10.0559628+  150.15 = h_4

160.2059628= h_4

h_4= 160.2059628 \  kJ/kg

The actual enthalpy at s_4 by using the isentropic efficiency of the turbine can determined by using the expression:

n_P = \dfrac{h_4-h_{3}}{h_{4a}-h_3}
