A turbine is fed with a flow of 20 kg/s of
water vapour at 4MP.. The steam is
generated in a boiler that supplies it
saturated to 6MPA, which is then strangled
through a valve prior to entering the turbine to
meet the conditions imposed. The process
that occurs in the turbine can be considered
adiabatic. It is known that at the exit of the
turbine the substance is found at 0. 5 MPa. In
addition, it is known that the isentropic
efficiency of the process that happens in the
turbine is 75%
(a) Schematize the system.
b) Determine the entropy generated by the
strangulation (valve) and explain the
effects of pressure drop on this specific
process.
c) Determine the actual power delivered by
the turbine and the entropy generated by it
process.
(d) Represent the overall process (valve and
turbine) in a diagram P-v and T-s.
