Answer with Explanation:
Part a)
The volume of water in the tank as a function of time is plotted in the below attached figure.
The vertical intercept of the graph is 46.
Part b)
The vertical intercept represents the volume of water that is initially present in the tank before draining begins.
Part c)
To find the time required to completely drain the tank we calculate the volume of the water in the tank to zero.
Part d)
The horizontal intercept represents the time it takes to empty the tank which as calculated above is 13.143 minutes.
Answer:
A) W' = 178.568 KW
B) ΔS = 2.6367 KW/k
C) η = 0.3
Explanation:
We are given;
Temperature at state 1;T1 = 360 °C
Temperature at state 2;T2 = 160 °C
Pressure at state 1;P1 = 10 bar
Pressure at State 2;P2 = 1 bar
Volumetric flow rate;V' = 0.8 m³/s
A) From table A-6 attached and by interpolation at temperature of 360°C and Pressure of 10 bar, we have;
Specific volume;v1 = 0.287322 m³/kg
Mass flow rate of water vapour at turbine is defined by the formula;
m' = V'/v1
So; m' = 0.8/0.287322
m' = 2.784 kg/s
Now, From table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 1 with temperature of 360°C and Pressure of 10 bar, we have;
Specific enthalpy;h1 = 3179.46 KJ/kg
Now, From table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 2 with temperature of 160°C and Pressure of 1 bar, we have;
Specific enthalpy;h2 = 3115.32 KJ/kg
Now, since stray heat transfer is neglected at turbine, we have;
-W' = m'[(h2 - h1) + ((V2)² - (V1)²)/2 + g(z2 - z1)]
Potential and kinetic energy can be neglected and so we have;
-W' = m'(h2 - h1)
Plugging in relevant values, the work of the turbine is;
W' = -2.784(3115.32 - 3179.46)
W' = 178.568 KW
B) Still From table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 1 with temperature of 360°C and Pressure of 10 bar, we have;
Specific entropy: s1 = 7.3357 KJ/Kg.k
Still from table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 2 with temperature of 160°C and Pressure of 1 bar, we have;
Specific entropy; s2 = 8.2828 KJ/kg.k
The amount of entropy produced is defined by;
ΔS = m'(s2 - s1)
ΔS = 2.784(8.2828 - 7.3357)
ΔS = 2.6367 KW/k
C) Still from table A-6 attached and by interpolation at state 2 with s2 = s2s = 8.2828 KJ/kg.k and Pressure of 1 bar, we have;
h2s = 2966.14 KJ/Kg
Energy equation for turbine at ideal process is defined as;
Q' - W' = m'[(h2 - h1) + ((V2)² - (V1)²)/2 + g(z2 - z1)]
Again, Potential and kinetic energy can be neglected and so we have;
-W' = m'(h2s - h1)
W' = -2.784(2966.14 - 3179.46)
W' = 593.88 KW
the isentropic turbine efficiency is defined as;
η = W_actual/W_ideal
η = 178.568/593.88 = 0.3
