1. Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. The inlet conditions of the steam are 4 MPa, 500°C, and 80 m/s, and the exit conditions are 30 kPa, 92% quality, and 50 m/s. The mass flow rate of the steam is 12 kg/s. Develop the mass and energy balance for this situation. Then, determine (a) the change in kinetic energy, (b) the power output, and (c) the turbine inlet area. Provide all evidence (referred tables, equations used, etc.) to support your answers.

1) Air enters an adiabatic heat exchanger (HX) with a mass flow rate of 850 kg/s at T₁ = 350°C and P₁ = 110kPa and leaves at T₂ = 60°C and P₂ = 100kPa and transfers heat to water which enters the HX as a saturated liquid at 16MPa. The water mass flow rate is 160 kg/s and it leaves the HX at 15MPa. Air has a constant specific heat of cp = 1.013 kJ/kg . K and specific heat ratio of k = 1.395.

A 0.2-m³ rigid tank initially contains saturated refrigerant- 134a at 1.0 MPa and 100 percent quality. The tank is connected by a valve to a supply line that carries refrigerant-134a at 1.6 MPa and 40°C. The valve is now opened, allowing the refrigerant to enter the tank, and it is closed when the tank contains only saturated liquid at 1.3 MPa. The refrigerant exchanges heat with its surroundings at 50°C and 100 kPa during this process. Determine (a) the amount of heat transfer and (b) the exergy destruction associated with this process.
2. Air is compressed from 0.1 MPa and 12 °C to a pressure of 1.0 MPa while being cooled at a rate of 363.3284 (kJ/kg) by circulating water through the compressor casing. The volume flow rate of the air at the inlet conditions is 90.79 m^3/min, and the power input to the compressor is 700 kW. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of the air and (b) the temperature at the compressor exit and (c) the density of air at the compressor exit. Use the thermodynamic table for value.
A turbine receives steam at 2778.1 kJ/kg enthalpy and then converts it to shaft work. The steam leaves the turbine with 1200 kJ/kg enthalpy. Assuming no losses due to gravity, heat, and friction, determine the power produced in kW if 5 kg/s of steam flows at the inlet
Heat is rejected from the condenser of a heat pump cycle by refrigerant-134a entering at 700 kPa and 50 ◦C at a rate of 105 kg/h and leaves as a saturated liquid. Determine (a) the temperature of R-134a at the condenser exit, (b) the volume flow rate at the exit of the condenser in L/min, (c) the COP of the heat pump if the rate of heat absorbed in the evaporator is 12,000 Btu/h.
Devices can be combined to perform a variety of tasks. An adiabatic compressor, with air as the working fluid, is to be powered by an adiabatic steam turbine, which is also driving a generator. Steam enters the turbine at 12.5 MPa and 500 ∘C at a steady rate of 27.30 kg/s and exits at 10 kPa and a quality of 0.8710. Air enters the compressor at 98 kPa and 295.0 K K at a steady rate of 12.600 kg/s and exits at 1 MPa and 635.0 K. For air, MW=29.0 g/mol, Cp=3.5R. Note: The IUPAC sign convention for work is used. Work into the system has a positive value. What is the magnitude of the power delivered to the generator by the turbine? The answer needs to be in MW.
