Question

Already calculated specific volume of steam at inlet as 0.208985 m3 /kg, area of inlet as 0.0312m2 , and specific enthalpy of the steam entering the turbine as 3296.176 KJ/Kg

 

Steam enters a turbine operating at steady state at 1.5 MPa and 418.4 °C, with a velocity of 79 m/s.
Saturated vapour exits at 0.2 MPa and a velocity of 40 m/s. The elevation of the inlet is 2.8 m higher than the exit.
The mass flow rate is 11.7 kg/s and the power developed is 5.5 MW.

The elevation of the inlet is 2.8 m higher than the exit. The mass flow rate is 11.7 kg/s and the power developed is 5.5 MW.
Calculate the change in the following quantities:
specific enthalpy =
kJ/kg
specific kinetic energy =
kJ/kg
specific potential energy=|
kJ/kg
Therefore, calculate the rate of heat transfer between the turbine and its surroundings
kW
