Water vapor at 6 MPa, 500°C enters a turbine operating at steady state and expands to 20 kPa. The mass flow rate is 3 kg/s, and

the power developed is 2626 kW. Stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible.
Determine:

(a) the isentropic turbine efficiency and

(b) the rate of entropy production within the turbine, in kW/K.

Answer:

a)75.8%

b)2.517KW/K

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem follow the steps below

Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)  

through prior knowledge of two other properties such as pressure and temperature.  

1. use thermodynamic tables to find the following variables.

a.enthalpy and entropy at the turbine entrance

h1=Enthalpy(Water;T=500;P=6000)

=3422KJ/kg

s1=Entropy(Water;T=500;P=6000)

=6.881KJ/kgK

b. enthalpy and ideal entropy at the turbine outlet

h2i=Enthalpy(Water;s=6.881;P=20)

=2267KJ/kg

s2i=s1=6.881KJ/kgK

2. uses the output power and the first law of thermodynamics to find the real enthalpy at the turbine's output

W=m(h1-h2)

h2=h1-W/m

h2r=3422-2626/3=2546.6KJ/kg

3.

find efficiency with the following equation

eficiency=\frac{h1-h2r}{h1-h2i}

\frac{h1-h2r}{h1-h2i}=\frac{3422-2546.6}{3422-2267} =0.758=75.8%

4.

find the real entropy at the turbine exit

s2=Entropy(Water;h=2546,6;P=20)=7.72KJ/kgK

5.Finally find the entropy generated, using the following equation

ΔS=m(s2-s1)=(3kg/s)(7.72  KJ/kgK-6.881 KJ/kgK)=2.517KW/K

5. Which of the following is false about onStep?
katovenus [111]

The false statement about onStep is: B. The default number of steps per second is 30.

<h3>What is an onStep?</h3>

An onStep can be defined as a computerized telescope goto controller that is designed and developed to <u>animate shapes</u> while using it on a variety of mounting systems such as forks.

<h3>The characteristics of an onStep.</h3>

In Engineering, some of the characteristics that are associated with an onStep include the following:

  • The onStep function can be called without user input.
  • It can be used to animate shapes without user input.
  • It only runs a certain number of times.

In conclusion, the default number of steps per second for onStep isn't 30.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Enthalpy at outlet=284.44 KJ

Explanation:

m_1=1 Kg/s,m_2=1.5 Kg/s,m_3=22 Kg/s

h_1=100 KJ/Kg,h_2=120 KJ/Kg,h_3=500 KJ/Kg

We need to Find enthalpy of outlet.

Lets take the outlet mass m and outlet enthalpy h.

So from mass conservation

m_1+m_2+m_3=m

   m=1+1.5+2 Kg/s

  m=4.5 Kg/s

Now from energy conservation

m_1h_1+m_2h_2+m_3h_3=mh

By putting the values

1\times 100+1.5\times 120+2\times 500=4.5\times h

So h=284.44 KJ
