Water vapor at 1.0 MPa, 300°C enters a turbine operating at steady state and expands to 15 kPa. The work developed by the turbin
e is 630 kJ per kg of steam flowing through the turbine. Ignoring heat transfer with the surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects, deter- mine (a) the isentropic turbine efficiency, (b) the rate of entropy gen- eration, in kJ/K per kg of steam flowing. Air at 40°F, 1 atm enters a compressor operating at steady state and exits at 620°F, 8.6 atm. Ignoring heat transfer with the surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects, determine (a) the isentro- pic compressor efficiency and (b) the rate of entropy generation, in Btu/ºr per lb of air flowing. 2.7

Explanation:
a) isentropic efficiency = 84.905%
b) rate of entropy generation = .341 kj/(kg.k)
The Isentropic efficiency of a turbine is a comparison of the actual power output with the Isentropic case.
Entropy can be defined as the thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system.

Explanation:
Specific cutting energy:
It the ratio of power required to cut the material to metal removal rate of material.If we take the force required to cut the material is F and velocity of cutting tool is V then cutting power will be the product of force and the cutting tool velocity.
Power P = F x V
Lets take the metal removal rate =MRR
Then the specific energy will be
If we consider that metal removal rate and cutting tool velocity is constant then when we increases the cutting force then specific energy will also increase.
