Question
Steam enters a turbine operating at steady state at 4 MPa, 500°C with a mass flow rate of 50 kg/s. Saturated
vapor exits at 10 kPa and the corresponding power developed is 42 MW. The effects of motion and gravity
are negligible.
(a) For a control volume enclosing the turbine, determine the rate of heat transfer, in MW, from the turbine
to its surroundings. Assuming an average turbine outer surface temperature of 50°C, determine the rate of
exergy destruction, in MW.
(b) If the turbine is located in a facility where the ambient temperature is 27°C, determine the rate of exergy
destruction for an enlarged control volume including the turbine and its immediate surroundings so heat
transfer takes place at the ambient temperature. Explain why the exergy destruction values of parts (a) and
(b) differ.
Let To = 300 K, po = 100 kPa.
