Steam enters a turbine operating at steady state at 800°F and 450 lbf/in^2 and leaves as a saturated vapor at 1.2 lbf/in^2. The

turbine develops 12,000 hp, and heat transfer from the turbine to the surroundings occurs at a rate of 2 x 106 Btu/h. Neglect kinetic and potential energy changes from inlet to exit. Determine the exit temperature, in °F, and the volumetric flow rate of the steam at the inlet, in ft3/s.

Answer:

Exit Temperature, T_2 = 107.9 °F

Volume Flow Rate = 47.39 ft^3/s

Explanation:

Given Data  

<u>Inlet Conditions </u>

Pressure, P_1 = 450 psia (psia = lbf/in^2)

Temperature, T_1 = 800 °F

<u>Outlet Conditions </u>

Pressure, P_2 = 1.2 psia (psia = lbf/in^2)

Saturated Vapor (Hence quality is 01)

Power, W = 12000 hp     (1 hp = 2545 Btu/hr)

Heat transfer from the turbine to surroundings, Q = -2000000 Btu/hr

Required

  • The exit temperature, in °F
  • The volume flow rate of the steam at the inlet, in ft^3/s

Calculations

We will be solving this table using the property tables (English Units)

From table A-4E for steam at inlet condition,

Enthalpy, h_1 = 1415 Btu/lb

Volume, v_1 = 1.608 ft^3/lb

From table A-5E for steam at outlet condition,

Enthalpy, h_2 = 1108 Btu/lb

Exit Temperature, T_2 = 107.9 °F

As kinetic and potential energy are ignored, the energy equation will be:

Q – W = m*(h_2 – h_1)

m is the mass flow rate

m = ((-2000000)-(12000*2545))/(1108-1415)*3600

m = 29.47 lb/s

Mass Flow rate = Volume Flow Rate / v_1

Volume Flow Rate = m*v_1

Volume Flow Rate = 47.39 ft^3/s

Which is a common refrigerant for domestic air conditioners?
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The most common HFC used in air conditioners is R-410A. This refrigerant is better than R-22 in terms of “Ozone Depletion” potential and energy efficiency, but it still causes global warming. A few more HFCs that are commonly used are: R-32 in Air Conditioners and R-134A in refrigerators.

In an experiment, the local heat transfer over a flat plate were correlated in the form of local Nusselt number as expressed by
zvonat [6]

Answer:

R= 1.25

Explanation:

As given the local heat transfer,

Nu_x = 0.035 Re^{0.8}_x Pr^{1/3}

But we know as well that,

Nu=\frac{hx}{k}\\h=\frac{Nuk}{x}

Replacing the values

h_x=Nu_x \frac{k}{x}\\h_x= 0.035Re^{0.8}_xPr^{1/3} \frac{k}{x}

Reynolds number is define as,

Re_x = \frac{Vx}{\upsilon}

Where V is the velocity of the fluid and \upsilon is the Kinematic viscosity

Then replacing we have

h_x=0.035(\frac{Vx}{\upsilon})^{0.8}Pr^{1/3}kx^{-1}

h_x=0.035(\frac{V}{\upsilon})^{0.8}Pr^{1/3}kx^{0.8-1}

h_x=Ax^{-0.2}

<em>*Note that A is just a 'summary' of all of that constat there.</em>

<em>That is A=0.035(\frac{V}{\upsilon})^{0.8}Pr^{1/3}k</em>

Therefore at x=L the local convection heat transfer coefficient is

h_{x=L}=AL^{-0.2}

Definen that we need to find the average convection heat transfer coefficient in the entire plate lenght, so

h=\frac{1}{L}\int\limit^L_0 h_x dx\\h=\frac{1}{L}\int\limit^L_0 AL^{-0.2}dx\\h=\frac{A}{0.8L}L^{0.8}\\h=1.25AL^{-0.2}

The ratio of the average heat transfer coefficient over the entire plate  to the local convection heat transfer coefficient is

R = \frac{h}{h_L}\\R= \frac{1.25Al^{-0.2}}{AL^{-0.2}}\\R= 1.25
