Air enters a well-insulated turbine operating at steady, state with negligible velocity at 4 MPa, 300°C. The air expands to an e

xit pressure of 100kPa. The exit velocity and temperature are 90 m/s and 100°C, respectively. The diameter of the exit is 0.6 m. Determine the power developed by the turbine (in kW). You may assume air behaves like an ideal gas throughout the process

Answer:

-3744.45 kW

Explanation:

The energy balance for a turbine is the following:

U_{e}+P_{e}*v_{e}+gz_{e}+\frac{C_{e}^{2}}{2}+q=W+U_{s}+P_{s}*v_{s}+gz_{s}+\frac{C_{s}^{2}}{2}

Where:

U = internal energy, P= pressure, v=volume, g= gravity, z= height, C= velocity, q= heat, W= power.  

Since it is a well-insulated turbine q= 0.

In steady state m (mass flow) is constant.

m=\frac{1}{v_{s}}*A*C

Where v_{s} is the specific volume and A = area.

There is no information about a change in height during the process so we can say that the term (gz) in the equation both in the inlet (e) and outlet (s) is zero.

In the inlet the velocity is negligible so \frac{C_{e}^{2}}{2} is zero.

Also, enthalpy (h) is:

h=U+P*v

Reorganizing the equation with this information we have

h_{e} =W + h_{s} +\frac{C_{s}^{2}}{2}

W= m*(h_{e}- h_{s}-\frac{C_{s}^{2}}{2}) in kW

We can get the enthalpy from thermodynamic tables for the air with the conditions in the inlet and in outlet. These are:

h_{e} (300 C) = 578.81 \frac{kJ}{kg}

h_{s} (100 C) = 273.26 \frac{kJ}{kg}

Mass flow  

The area is the area of the circle A=pi()*r^{2}

A=pi()*(0.3m)^{2}=0.282 m^{2}

We can get the specific volume from thermodynamics tables for air at 100°C. We use this condition because we know the diameter and the velocity in the outlet. This value is  

1.057 \frac{m^{3}}{kg}  

Mass flow is  

m=\frac{1}{1.057\frac{m^{3}}{kg}} * 0.282 m^{2}* 90\frac{m}{s}=24.072 \frac{kg}{s}

So power is:

W= 24.072 \frac{kg}{s}*(578.81 \frac{kJ}{kg}-273.26 \frac{kJ}{kg}+\frac{(90\frac{m}{s})^{2}}{2}=-3744.45 Kw

Ignoring any losses, estimate how much energy (in units of Btu) is required to raise the temperature of water in a 90-gallon hot
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Q=36444.11 Btu

Explanation:

Given that

Initial temperature = 60° F

Final temperature = 110° F

Specific heat of water = 0.999 Btu/lbm.R

Volume of water = 90 gallon

Mass = Volume x density

1\ gallon = 0.13ft^3

Mass ,m= 90 x 0.13 x 62.36 lbm

m=729.62 lbm

We know that sensible heat given as

Q= m Cp ΔT

Now by putting the values

Q= 729.62 x 0.999 x (110-60) Btu

Q=36444.11 Btu
