1. A turbine in a steam power plant operates isentropically with an inlet pressure (P3) of 3.5 MPa and inlet temperature (T3) of
600 C. The water exiting the turbine is at 50 kPa (P4). Model the steam power plant as an ideal Rankine cycle to evaluate the following: a. What is the phase of water, enthalpy and entropy at state 3 (turbine inlet)

Answer:
The required stress is 200 Mpa
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
diameter D = 12 mm = 12 × 10⁻³ m
Length L = 188 mm = 188 × 10⁻³ m
Poisson's ratio v = 0.34
Reduction in diameter Δd = 0.0105 mm = 0.0105 × 10⁻³ m
The transverse strain will;
εˣ = Δd / D
εˣ = -0.0105 × 10⁻³ / 12 × 10⁻³ m
εˣ = -0.00088
The longitudinal strain will be;
= - ( εˣ / v )
= - ( -0.00088 / 0.34 )
= - ( - 0.002588 )
= 0.0026
Now, Using the values for strain, we get the value of stress from the graph provided in the question, ( first image uploaded below.
From the graph, in the Second image;
The stress is 200 Mpa
Therefore, The required stress is 200 Mpa
