A steam turbine operates steadily under the following conditions. At the inlet, p = 2.5 MPa, h₁ = 3383 kJ/kg, T = 450°C, and V = 50 m/s. At the outlet, p= 22 kPa, h2= 2628 kJ/kg, T= 70°C, and V= 235 m/s. Neglecting elevation changes and heat transfer, calculate the work delivered to the turbine blades.

A compressor is fed with superheated steam at 300°C and 20 bar. The compressor inlet speed is 20 m/s and the internal diameter is 0.1 m. The discharge tube, after the compressor, with a smaller diameter is 170 m/s. Compressor output is superheated steam at 300°C and 20 bar. The heat loss from the compressor to the surroundings is 5 kW. Determine the work generated by the compressor in hp.
A centrifugal compressor handles 300 CFM of air at 14.7 psia and 80 degree F. The air is compressed to 30 psia. The initial speed is 35 ft/s and the final speed is 170 ft/s. If the compression is polytropic with n = 1.32, what is the work?
Air (MW=29 g/mol) at 115.00 kPa and 285.00 is compressed steadily to 600.0 kPa. The mass flow rate of the air is 2.00 kg/s and a heat loss of 32.1 kW occurs during the process. You may assume that changes in kinetic and potential energy are negligible, the temperature of the surroundings is 25 ∘C, and that the CP of air is 3.5 R. Given the compressor operates with a second law (reversible) efficiency of 0.60,calculate the following. What is the actual work interaction term in kW? What is the actual exit temperature of the air in Celcius?
A turbine is supplied with 22,500 lb./hr of steam at 166 psia and 480°F with an initial speed of 6000 fpm at an elevation of 5 ft. above the exhaust outlet. Radiation and frictional losses are 140,000 Btu/hr. At the entrance h1 = 1261.8 Btu/lb. At the exit, p2 = 3 in. Hg abs., v2 = 24,000 fpm, and h2= 1000.5 Btu/lb. Compute the work in horsepower.
air in a piston cylinder is expanded reversibly and adiabatically from P1= 400kPa V1=5L T1= 130C to P2=100kPa V2=20L. Determine the amount of work and final temperature.
A site is being considered for wind power generation. At this site, the wind blows steadily at 9 m/s for 2,579 hours per year. Assuming the wind velocity is negligible at other times for simplicity, determine the kWh/year that can be produced at the site for a turbine with a mechanical efficiency of 100% and an effective flow area of 5 m2. Use a value of 1.25 kg/m3 for the density of the air. Give your answer in killowatt-hours per year (kWh/year). Hint: I reccomend starting by finding the kinetic energy (kJ/kg) of the wind. Hint 2: Multiply the power generation (kW) by the number of hours of wind per year (h/year) to get kWh/year.

Solve the problem. An air compressor (an open system) receives 272 kg per min of air at 99.29 kPa and a specific volume of 0.026 m3/kg. The air flows steadiy through the compressor and is discharged at 689.5 kPa and 0.0051 m3/kg. The initial internal energy of the air is 1594 J/kg; at discharge, the internal energy is 6241 J/kg. The cooling water circulated around the cylinder carries away 4383 J/kg of air. The change in kinetic energy is 896 J/kg increase. Sketch an energy diagram. Compute the work.
