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 = = 300K and a mass flow 0.28 kJ/kgk = 1bar, T₁ = and Cp 1.02 kJ/kgK. The air enters the compressor at p₁ 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.

Thermodynamic Example: A fan that consumes 20 W of electric power when operating is claimed to discharge air from a ventilated room at a rate of 0.25 kg/s at a discharge velocity of 8 m/s. Determine if this claim is reasonable.
Steam generators are a type of heat exchanges that are used in power plants to generate steam at desired pressure and temperature (Fig. Q1.b). In a steam generator, saturated liquid water at 30°C enters a 60-mm diameter tube at the volume flow rate of 12 L/s. After exchanging heat with hot gas, the water changes to steam and leaves the generator at a pressure of 9 MPa and a temperature of 400°C. During this process, the diameter of the water/steam tube does not change.(i) Calculate the steam mass flow rate.
