Answer:
(a) the reversible power output of turbine is 5810 kw
(b) The second-law efficiency of he turbine = 86.05%
Explanation:
In state 1: the steam has a pressure of 6 MPa and 600°C. Obtain the enthalpy and entropy at this state.
h1 = 3658 kJ/kg s1=7.167 kJ/kgK
In state 2: the steam has a pressure of 50 kPa and 100°C. Obtain the enthalpy and entropy at this state
h2 = 2682kl/kg S2= 7.694 kJ/kg
Assuming that the energy balance equation given
Wout=m [h1-h2+(v1²-v2²) /2]
Let
W =5 MW
V1= 80 m/s V2= 140 m/s
h1 = 3658kJ/kg h2 = 2682 kJ/kg
∴5 MW x1000 kW/ 1 MW =m [(3658-2682)+ ((80m/s)²-(140m/s)²)/2](1N /1kg m/ s²) *(1KJ/1000 Nm)
m = 5.158kg/s
Consider the energy balance equation given
Wrev,out =Wout-mT0(s1-s2)
Substitute Wout =5 MW m = 5.158kg/s 7
s1= 7.167 kJ/kg-K s2= 7.694kJ/kg-K and 25°C .
Wrev,out=(5 MW x 1000 kW /1 MW) -5.158x(273+25) Kx(7.167-7.694)
= 5810 kW
(a) Therefore, the reversible power output of turbine is 5810 kw.
The given values of quantities were substituted and the reversible power output are calculated.
(b) Calculating the second law efficiency of the turbine:
η=Wout/W rev,out
Let Wout = 5 MW and Wrev,out = 5810 kW
η=(5 MW x 1000 kW)/(1 MW *5810)
η= 86.05%
