b) Power output, W = 10221.72 kW
c) Turbine inlet area, ![A_1 = 0.0044 m^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A_1%20%3D%200.0044%20m%5E2)
Explanation:
a) Change in Kinetic Energy
For an adiabatic steady state flow of steam:
.........(1)
Where Inlet velocity, V₁ = 80 m/s
Outlet velocity, V₂ = 50 m/s
Substitute these values into equation (1)
![KE = \frac{50^2 - 80^2}{2} \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=KE%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B50%5E2%20-%2080%5E2%7D%7B2%7D%20%5C%5C)
KE = -1950 m²/s²
To convert this to kJ/kg, divide by 1000
KE = -1950/1000
KE = -1.95 kJ/kg
b) The power output, w
The equation below is used to represent a steady state flow.
![q - w = h_2 - h_1 + KE + g(z_2 - z_1)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=q%20-%20w%20%3D%20h_2%20-%20h_1%20%2B%20KE%20%2B%20g%28z_2%20-%20z_1%29)
For an adiabatic process, the rate of heat transfer, q = 0
z₂ = z₁
The equation thus reduces to :
w = h₁ - h₂ - KE...........(2)
Where Power output,
..........(3)
Mass flow rate, ![\dot{m} = 12 kg/s](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdot%7Bm%7D%20%3D%2012%20kg%2Fs)
To get the specific enthalpy at the inlet, h₁
At P₁ = 10 MPa, T₁ = 450°C,
h₁ = 3242.4 kJ/kg,
Specific volume, v₁ = 0.029782 m³/kg
At P₂ = 10 kPa,
, x₂ = 0.92
specific enthalpy at the outlet, h₂ = ![h_1 + x_2 h_{fg}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=h_1%20%2B%20x_2%20h_%7Bfg%7D)
h₂ = 3242.4 + 0.92(2392.1)
h₂ = 2392.54 kJ/kg
Substitute these values into equation (2)
w = 3242.4 - 2392.54 - (-1.95)
w = 851.81 kJ/kg
To get the power output, put the value of w into equation (3)
W = 12 * 851.81
W = 10221.72 kW
c) The turbine inlet area
![A_1V_1 = \dot{m}v_1\\\\A_1 * 80 = 12 * 0.029782\\\\80A_1 = 0.357\\\\A_1 = 0.357/80\\\\A_1 = 0.0044 m^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A_1V_1%20%3D%20%5Cdot%7Bm%7Dv_1%5C%5C%5C%5CA_1%20%2A%2080%20%3D%2012%20%2A%200.029782%5C%5C%5C%5C80A_1%20%3D%200.357%5C%5C%5C%5CA_1%20%3D%200.357%2F80%5C%5C%5C%5CA_1%20%3D%200.0044%20m%5E2)
