Water vapor expands at a turbine at a speed of 1350 kg / s, the inlet conditions are 8MPA and 400C, the outlet conditions are 500KPa and 250C, the turbine does 200kW work. Neglect changes in kinetic and potential energy. a) Write and simplify the equation that applies to this system. b) What are the specific enthalpies of the input and output current? c) What is the heat transfer in Kw? d) What is the specific volume and volumetric flow at the inlet? e) What is the specific volume and the volumetric flow at the outlet
A compressor is to compress 5.0 mol/s of air at 20°C and 200 kPa to 800 kPa. The ratio ofconstant pressure to constant volume heat capacity for air is 1.4. Determine the following:a) Power (in kW) required if the mechanical efficiency of the uncooled compressor is 70%.b) Outlet temperature of the uncooled compressor and whether it is safe for operation.c) The percentage of power saved if the compressor were run isothermally.
A flow of 1950 kg water/h enters at 290 K for cooling and flow outside the tube. An oil which has a heat capacity is 2.30 kJ/(kg∙K) is being cooled in a heat exchanger from 372 K to 310 K and flows inside the tube at a rate of 2600 kg/h. Calculate the water outlet temperature and heat transfer area if the overall heat transfer coefficient is 340 W/(m2·K) and the streams are countercurrent.
1. Steam is compressed from 10 bar and 673 K to an exit temperature of 873 K. If the isentropic efficiency is 75%, calculate the power requirements to compress 25,000 kg/h. Estimate the exit gas pressure. [12] 2. A 3000kW compressor is used to compress steam to the exit temperature and pressure of and 10 bar, respectively. Calculate the initial temperature and pressure of the steam, flowrate is 15 000kg/h and the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 80% [13]
