Air modeled as an ideal gas enters a turbine operating at steady state at 1040 K, 278 kPa and exits at 120 kPa. The mass flow ra

te is 5.5 kg/s, and the power developed is 1120 kW. Stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine
(a) The temperature of the air at the turbine exit, in K.
(b) The isentropic turbine efficiency.

Answer:

a) T_{2}=837.2K

b) e=91.3 %

Explanation:

A) First, let's write the energy balance:

W=m*(h_{2}-h_{1})\\W=m*Cp*(T_{2}-T_{1})  (The enthalpy of an ideal gas is just function of the temperature, not the pressure).

The Cp of air is: 1.004 \frac{kJ}{kgK} And its specific R constant is 0.287 \frac{kJ}{kgK}.

The only unknown from the energy balance is T_{2}, so it is possible to calculate it. The power must be negative because the work is done by the fluid, so the energy is going out from it.

T_{2}=T_{1}+\frac{W}{mCp}=1040K-\frac{1120kW}{5.5\frac{kg}{s}*1.004\frac{kJ}{kgk}} \\T_{2}=837.2K

B) The isentropic efficiency (e) is defined as:

e=\frac{h_{2}-h_{1}}{h_{2s}-h_{1}}

Where {h_{2s} is the isentropic enthalpy at the exit of the turbine for the isentropic process. The only missing in the last equation is that variable, because h_{2}-h_{1} can be obtained from the energy balance  \frac{W}{m}=h_{2}-h_{1}

h_{2}-h_{1}=\frac{-1120kW}{5.5\frac{kg}{s}}=-203.64\frac{kJ}{kg}

An entropy change for an ideal gas with  constant Cp is given by:

s_{2}-s_{1}=Cpln(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})-Rln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})

You can review its deduction on van Wylen 6 Edition, section 8.10.

For the isentropic process the equation is:

0=Cpln(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})-Rln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})\\Rln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})=Cpln(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})

Applying logarithm properties:

ln((\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{R} )=ln((\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})^{Cp} )\\(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{R}=(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})^{Cp}\\(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{R/Cp}=(\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})\\T_{2}=T_{1}(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})^{R/Cp}

Then,

T_{2}=1040K(\frac{120kPa}{278kPa})^{0.287/1.004}=817.96K

So, now it is possible to calculate h_{2s}-h_{1}:

h_{2s}-h_{1}}=Cp(T_{2s}-T_{1}})=1.004\frac{kJ}{kgK}*(817.96K-1040K)=-222.92\frac{kJ}{kg}

Finally, the efficiency can be calculated:

e=\frac{h_{2}-h_{1}}{h_{2s}-h_{1}}=\frac{-203.64\frac{kJ}{kg}}{-222.92\frac{kJ}{kg}}\\e=0.913=91.3 %

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

a) 70.29 %

b) 37%

Explanation:

percent reduction can be found from:

PR = 100*(π(do/2)^2-π(df/2)^2)/π(do/2)^2

     = 100*(π(11.34/2)^2-π(6.21/2)^2)/π(11.34/2)^2

     =70.29 %

percent elongation can be found from:

EL =L_f - Lo/Lo*100

    = (73.17 -53.3/53.3)*100

    = 37%

Furkat [3]

Answer:

1700kJ/h.K

944.4kJ/h.R

944.4kJ/h.°F

Explanation:

Conversions for different temperature units are below:

1K = 1°C + 273K

1R = T(K) * 1.8

= (1°C + 273) * 1.8

1°F = (1°C * 1.8) + 32

Q/delta T = 1700kJ/h.°C

T (K) = 1700kJ/h.°C

= 1700kJ/K

T (R) = 1700kJ/h.°C

= 1700kJ/h.°C * 1°C/1.8R

= 944.4kJ/h.R

T (°F) = 1700kJ/h.°C

= 1700kJ/h.°C * 1°C/1.8°F

= 944.4kJ/h.°F

Note that arithmetic operations like subtraction and addition of values do not change or affect the value of a change in temperature (delta T) hence, the arithmetic operations are not reflected in the conversion. Illustration: 5°C - 3°C

= 2°C

(273+5) - (273+3)

= 2 K
