Steam enters the first-stage turbine shown in the figure at 40 bar and 4500C with a mass flow rate of 40,000 kg/hr. Steam exits the first-stage turbineat 20 bar and 400°C. The steam is then reheated at constant pressure to 500°C before entering the second-stage turbine. Steam leaves the secondstage as saturated vapor at 0.6 bar.

The working gas of a thermodynamic cycle is a diatomic gas (assume constant specific heats.) The gas originally starts at 100kPa, 4m 3 and 27° C. It undergoes a four-step process --- • Process A-B: The gas is compressed at constant temperature to one-quarter of its original volume. • Process B-C: The volume of the gas is then doubled at constant pressure. • Process C-D: The gas then undergoes an adiabatic expansion. • Process D-A: The gas then undergoes a constant volume process back to its original state a) Make a table of the temperature, pressure, volume, internal energy, enthalpy, entropy and quality factor (T, P, V, U, H & S) at the start of each process. b) Make a table of the change in internal energy, heat flow, work done, change in enthalpy, and change in entropy (AU, Q, W, AH & AS) during each leg of the cycle. c) Draw well-labelled P-V & T-S diagrams (indicating lines of constant temperature, heat flow, work, etc.) d) Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle.

b) A nearly flat bicycle tire becomes noticeably warmer after it has been pumped up. Approximate this process as a reversible adiabatic compression. Take the initial pressure and initial temperature of the air before it is put in the tire to be P = 1.00 bar and T; = 298 K. The final volume of the air in the tire is V = 1.00 L and the final pressure is Pf = 5.00 bar. Hints: • Cy.m = 5/2 R. Heat Capacity ratio, y = Cp.m Cy,m = 1.4 %3D Cy,m For a reversible adiabatic change, 4 = (4 )°, where c = R For perfect gas: CP.m - Cv,m = R CP.m and Cv.m denote molar heat capacity at constant pressure and volume, respectively. Tand V are temperature and volume at initiate (i) state ad final (f) state. i) Derive a mathematical expression to show the relationship of temperature, volume and heat capacity ratio (y) for the transformation of this process from initial to final states.
Water stored in a large, well-insulated storage tank at 21oC, and atmospheric pressure is being pumped at steady state from this tank by a pump at the rate of 40m3/h. The motor driving the pump supplies energy at the rate of 8.5 k.W. The water is used as a cooling medium and passes through a heat exchanger where 255 k.W of heat is added to the water. The heated water then flows to a second large, vented tank, which is 25 m above the first tank. Determine the final temperature of the water delivered to the second tank.
A steady-state gas turbine is using air as the working fluid has shaft power output of 55 MW. Air enters the turbine at 300 K and leaves at 600 K and 30 m/s. The air is first compressed by adding a compression power of 15 MW. Then air receives 173 MW as heat input from the combustor. Determine the mass flow rate of air in kg/s.
In a steam power plant operating at steady state is supplied to the high pressure turbine at 5 MPa and 450 °C. after expansion to 500 kPa the steam is reheated at constant pressure to the original temperature. The steam expands in in the low pressure turbine to an exhaust pressure of 10 kPa.
3) A three-process cycle uses 3 kg of air and undergoes the following processes: polytropic compression from state 1 to state 2, where 150 kPa, 3600K, 750 kPa, and n=1.2; constant-pressure cooling from state 2 to state 3; and constant-temperature heating from state 3 to state 1, thus completing the cycle. Sketch the cycle on a p-V and T-s diagrams and determine the total heat and net work of the cycle.
A steady-state system for producing power consist of a pump, heat exchanger and a turbine. Water at 1.0 bar and 20°C (state 1) enters the adiabatic pump and leaves at 10 bar (state 2). The pump draws 110 kW of power, and the mass flow rate of water is 45 kg/s. The water leaving the pump enters a heat exchanger and heated at constant pressure to 400°C (state 3) using exhaust gases (Cp of gases = 1.1 kJ/kgK) that enters at 500°C and exits at 182°C. The steam is adiabatically expanded in a turbine having an isentropic efficiency of 0.71. The turbine exhausts (state 4) to the surroundings at 1.0 bar. What is thermal efficiency of this power production process? If the pump and turbine are reversible, would the efficiency of this system equal the maximum possible efficiency? (Answer Yes or NO and provide a short explanation.)
A one pass steam generator receives saturated water at 20 bar, and converting it into steam at 400°C. The mass flow rate of steam is 1200 kg/h, calculate the heat transfer in the generator.
An air enters a compressor at 120 kPa, 20 C with volume flow rate of 10m^3/min. It then exits the compressor at 1.5Mpa and 145 C. Calculate the power input to drive the compressor (under steady state) when heat transfer from the compressor is 2 kW.
