Define Compressors are sometimes intentionally cooled to minimize the work input.

Q1. The adiabatic enthalpy drop in a given stage of a multi-stage impulse turbine is 22.1 16° KJ/kg of steam. The nozzle outlet angle is and the efficiency of the nozzle, defined as the ratio of the actual gain of kinetic energy in the nozzle to adiabatic heat drop, is 92%. The mean diameter of the blades is 1473.2 mm and the revolution per minutes is 1500. Given that the carry over factor is 0.88, and that the blades are equiangular (the blade velocity coefficient is 0.87). Calculate the steam velocity at the outlet from nozzles, blade angles, and gross stage efficiency.

Air with a pressure of 0.1 MPa and a temperature of 25oC with a flow rate of 5.29 kg/minute enters a three-stage reciprocating piston compressor with intercooler. The air is compressed polytropically (n = 1.3) to reach the pressure of 4 MPa. Calculate: a) The amount of heat transferred to each intercooler? b) How much air is needed for cooling in the intercooler if the allowable maximum temperature changes between the inlet and outlet of the intercooler is 8oC?

Moodle in the Cloud 0% In turbochargers a turbine is directly connected to a compressor. The power harvested by the turbine is used to power the compressor. In the figure below a turbine runs on steam and powers a compressor on air. Air can be considered a perfect gas with k = 1.34, R = 0.28 kJ/kgk and cp = 1.02 kJ/kgK. The air enters the compressor at p₁ 1bar, T₁ = 300K and a mass flow rate of mdot = 5.9 kg/s and exits at p2 = 5.2 bars. The steam enters the isentropic turbine at P3 = 2 MPa, T3 = 320°C and exits at p4 = 100 kPa. = State 2 Isentropic Compressor State 1 Air - perfect gas T₁ = 300K P₁= 1 bar Get Help Answer: W = ? tubine State 4 Isentropic Turbine State 3 Steam T,=320°C P3= 2MPa What is the power produced by the turbine?
