Steam at 40 bar and 500o C enters the first-stage turbine with a volumetric flow rate of 90 m3 /min. Steam exits the turbine at

20 bar and 400o C. The steam is then reheated at constant pressure to 500o C before entering the second-stage turbine. Steam leaves the second stage as saturated vapor at 0.6 bar. For operation at steady state, and neglecting stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects, determine (a) The mass flow rate of the steam (in kg/h). (b) The total power produced by the two stages of the turbine (in kW). (c) The rate of heat transfer to the steam flowing through the reheater (in kW)

Answer:

(a) 62460 kg/hr

(b) 17,572.95 kW

(c) 3,814.57 kW

Explanation:

Volumetric flow rate, G = 30 m³ / 1 min => 90 / 60 => 1.5

Calculate for h₁ , h₂ , h₃

h₁ is h at P = 40 bar, 500°C => 3445.84 KJ/Kg

Specific volume steam, ц = 0.086441 m³kg⁻¹

h₂ is h at P = 20 bar, 400°C => 3248.23 KJ/Kg

h₃ is h at P = 20 bar, 500°C => 3468.09 KJ/Kg

h₄ is hg at P = 0.6 bar from saturated water table => 2652.85 KJ/Kg

a)

Mass flow rate of the steam, m = G / ц

m = 1.5 / 0.086441

m = 17.35 kg/s

mass per hour is m = 62460 kg/hr

b)

Total Power produced by two stages

= m (h₁ - h₂) + m (h₃ - h₁)

= m [(3445.84 - 3248.23) + (3468.09 - 2652.85)]

= m [ 197.61 + 815.24 ]

= 17.35 [1012.85]

= 17,572.95 kW

c)

Rate of heat transfer to the steam through reheater

= m (h₃ - h₂)

= 17.35 x (3468.09 - 3248.23)

= 17.35 x 219.86

= 3,814.57 kW

A turbine operates at steady state, and experiences a heat loss. 1.1 kg/s of water flows through the system. The inlet is mainta
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

\dot W_{out} = 399.47\,kW

Explanation:

The turbine is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

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

The work done by the turbine is:

\dot W_{out} = \dot m \cdot (h_{in}-h_{out})-\dot Q_{out}

The properties of the water are obtained from property tables:

Inlet (Superheated Steam)

P = 10\,MPa

T = 520\,^{\textdegree}C

h = 3425.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

Outlet (Superheated Steam)

P = 1\,MPa

T = 280\,^{\textdegree}C

h = 3008.2\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

The work output is:

\dot W_{out} = \left(1.1\,\frac{kg}{s}\right)\cdot \left(3425.9\,\frac{kJ}{kg} -3008.2\,\frac{kJ}{kg}\right) - 60\,kW

\dot W_{out} = 399.47\,kW

A labor-intensive process to manufacture a product has a fixed cost of $338,000 and a variable cost of $143 per unit. An automat
ozzi

Answer:

no of unit is 17941

Explanation:

given data

fixed cost = $338,000

variable cost = $143 per unit

fixed cost = $1,244,000  

variable cost = $92.50 per unit

solution

we consider here no of unit is = n

so here total cost of labor will be sum of fix and variable cost i.e

total cost of labor = $33800 + $143 n  ..........1

and

total cost of capital intensive  = $1,244,000 + $92.5 n   ..........2

so here in both we prefer cost of capital if cost of capital intensive less than cost of labor

$1,244,000 + $92.5 n  <  $33800 + $143 n

solve we get

n > \frac{906000}{50.5}

n > 17941

and

cost of producing less than selling cost so here

$1,244,000 + $92.5 n < 197 n

solve it we get

n > \frac{1244000}{104.5}  

n > 11904

so in both we get greatest no is 17941

so no of unit is 17941
