Steam enters the turbine at a speed of 10 kg/s. The pressure at the inlet is 100 bar and the temperature is 500°C. The exit exits from 1 bar to saturated steam. Calculate the power (kW) produced by this turbine in a normal state. Enthalpy H2=2675.5 kJ/kg at the outlet and enthalpy H1=3373.6 kJ/kg at the inlet.
Argon is accelerated in a nozzle from 32 m/s at 666 K to 441 m/s and 196 kPa. If the heat loss is equal to 5.1 kJ/kg, determine the gas temperature at outlet in K to 1 decimal place. Take the gas constant as 0.2 (kPa m3)/(kg K) and assume constant specific heats cp=0.5 kJ/(kg K) and cv=0.3 kJ/(kg K).
R-134a enters a compressor as a saturated vapor at 80 kPa and exits at a pressure of 400 kPa. If 44 kJ/kg of work is required and 5 kJ/kg of heat is lost to the surroundings. What is the outlet temperature. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Consider a turbojet powered airplane flying at a standard altitude of 8.5 km at a velocity of 108 m/s. The turbojet engine itself has inlet and exit areas of 2.8 m2 and 1.2 m2, respectively. The velocity and pressure of the exhaust gas at the exit are 186 m/s and 75000 Pa, respectively. Calculate the thrust of the turbojet.
