Steam enters a turbine with a pressure of 30 bar, a temperature of 400 oC, and a velocity of 160 m/s. Saturated vapor at 100 oC

exits with a velocity of 100 m/s. At steady state, the turbine develops work equal to 540 kJ per kg of steam flowing through the turbine. Heat transfer between the turbine and its surroundings occurs at an average outer surface temperature of 350 K. Determine the rate at which entropy is produced within the turbine per kg of steam flo

Answer:

The rate at which entropy is produced within the turbine is 22.762 kilojoules per kilogram-Kelvin.

Explanation:

By either the Principle of Mass Conservation and First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, we model the steam turbine by the two equations described below:

Principle of Mass Conservation

\dot m_{in} - \dot m_{out} = 0 (1)

First Law of Thermodynamics

-\dot Q_{out} + \dot m \cdot \left[h_{in}-h_{out}+ \frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{in}^{2}-v_{out}^{2}) - w_{out} \right] = 0 (2)

Second Law of Thermodynamics

-\frac{\dot Q_{out}}{T_{out}} + \dot m\cdot (s_{in}-s_{out}) + \dot S_{gen} = 0 (3)

By dividing each each expression by \dot m, we have the following system of equations:

-q_{out} + h_{in}-h_{out} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{in}^{2}-v_{out}^{2}) - w_{out} = 0 (2b)

-\frac{q_{out}}{T_{out}} + s_{in}-s_{out} + s_{gen} = 0 (3b)

Where:

\dot Q_{out} - Heat transfer rate between the turbine and its surroundings, in kilowatts.

q_{out} - Specific heat transfer between the turbine and its surroundings, in kilojoules per kilogram.

T_{out} - Outer surface temperature of the turbine, in Kelvin.

\dot m - Mass flow rate through the turbine, in kilograms per second.

h_{in}, h_{out} - Specific enthalpy of water at inlet and outlet, in kilojoules per kilogram.

v_{in}, v_{out} - Speed of water at inlet and outlet, in meters per second.

w_{out} - Specific work of the turbine, in kilojoules per kilogram.

s_{in}, s_{out} - Specific entropy of water at inlet and outlet, in kilojoules per kilogram-Kelvin.

s_{gen} - Specific generated entropy, in kilojoules per kilogram-Kelvin.

By property charts for steam, we get the following information:

Inlet

T = 400\,^{\circ}C, p = 3000\,kPa, h = 3231.7\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, s = 6.9235\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

Outlet

T = 100\,^{\circ}C, p = 101.42\,kPa, h = 2675.6\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, s = 7.3542\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

If we know that h_{in} = 3231.7\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, h_{out} = 2675.6\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, v_{in} = 160\,\frac{m}{s}, v_{out} = 100\,\frac{m}{s}, w_{out} = 540\,\frac{kJ}{kg}, T_{out} = 350\,K, s_{in} = 6.9235\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K} and s_{out} = 7.3542\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}, then the rate at which entropy is produced withing the turbine is:

q_{out} = h_{in} - h_{out} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{in}^{2}-v_{out}^{2})-w_{out}

q_{out} = 3231.7\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 2675.6\,\frac{kJ}{kg} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left[\left(160\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(100\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}\right] - 540\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

q_{out} = 7816.1\,\frac{kJ}{kg}

s_{gen} = \frac{q_{out}}{T_{out}}+s_{out}-s_{in}

s_{gen} = \frac{7816.1\,\frac{kJ}{kg} }{350\,K} + 7.3542\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K} - 6.9235\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

s_{gen} = 22.762\,\frac{kJ}{kg\cdot K}

The rate at which entropy is produced within the turbine is 22.762 kilojoules per kilogram-Kelvin.

Given asphalt content test data:
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

A) overall mean = 5.535,  standard deviation ≈ 0.3239

B ) upper limit = 5.85, lower limit = 5.0

C) Not all the samples meet the contract specifications

D) fluctuation ( unstable Asphalt content )

Explanation:

B) The daily average asphalt content has to obtained in order to determine the upper and lower control limits using an average asphalt content of 5.5% +/- 0.5% everyday

The upper limit : 14 may = ( 5.8 + 5.1 ) / 2 = 5.85

The lower limit : 16 may = ( 5.2 + 4.8 ) / 2 = 5.0

attached below is the required plot

C ) Not all the samples meet the contract specifications and the samples that do not meet up are samples from :

15 may and 16 may . this is because their Asphalt contents are 6.2 and 4.8 respectively and sample number 18 and 20

D ) what can be observed is that the ASPHALT content fluctuates between the dates while the contract specification is fixed

Identify an object in your house that contains a physical system and list three questions you could use to define the system
jonny [76]

Answer:

ALL CAREFULLY ANSWERED CORRECTLY

Explanation:

1) A loaf of Bread PHYSICAL SYSTEM

✓ How can the environment affect the edibility of the bread

✓ What are the constituents that makes up the bread

✓ What process is involved in these constituents mixing to form the loaf.

2) The law of thermodynamics makes us to understand that when heat/energy passes through a system, the systems internal energy changes with respect to the conservation of energy law. That is energy lost = energy gained. Typically, ice would melt in a cup of hot tea because of the thermal energy in the molecules of the hot tea. When you heat a material, you are adding thermal kinetic energy to its molecules and usually raising its temperature. The temperature of the ice raises due to the kinetic energy added to it and it melts to water.

3) The theory of systems view the world as a complex system of interconnected parts. If we consider the society; (financial systems, political systems, etc) we will agree that they individually have their own components and it's the summation of this components that makes the system, this implies that system thinking could be applicable in this kinda of systems as long as they are made up of components.

4) Technology has boosted every sector of our lives and it has the capacity to do more. Restricting it's importance to entertainment alone would be an underusing of its potentials. Engineering students infact should not need any drive to be encouraged about maximizing all it can do in shaping our world.

5) ~ Nature shows its splendid soul

~Never ceases to leave us in amazement

~And we are in love
