Water vapor flows through a two-stage turbine at steady-state, entering the inlet of the first turbine stage at a temperature of 480"C and a pressure of 10 MPa, and exiting the second turbine stage at a pressure of 0.5 bar and a quality of 95%. The mass flow rate through the first turbine stage is 15.8 kg/s, after which some of the steam is directed towards a regenerative feedwater heater. If the first turbine stage generates 8517.78 kW of work, and the second turbine stage generates 3624.2 kW of work, what is the mass flow rate (kg/s) of steam sent to the regenerative feedwater heater?

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 well insulated turbine operates at steady state. Steam enters the turbine at 4 MPa with a specific enthalpy of 3015.4 kJ/kg and a velocity of 10 m/s. The steam expands to the turbine exit where the pressure is 0.07 MPa, specific enthalpy is 2431.7 kJ/kg, and the velocity is 90 m/s. The mass flow rate is 11.95 kg/s.

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.)

2 kg of Refrigerant-134a contained in a piston-cylinder device undergoes a reversed Carnot cycle. Some important information about the cycle is: ● At the beginning of the adiabatic compression (State 1), the refrigerant is a saturated vapor. ● The adiabatic compression ends when the temperature of the refrigerant is 30 degrees C● The refrigerant is 50% vapor by mass at the end of the isothermal heat rejection process. ● The adiabatic expansion process ends when the pressure of the refrigerant is 132.82kPaConsulting example 7-6 in your text might be helpful in understanding some aspects of this problem. a) Represent this cycle on a T-S diagram. On your diagram, clearly indicate the values of the specific entropy and temperature at every state. b) Explain (briefly) why the process curves take the shapes you indicated on your T-S diagram in part a.
Air at 1 bar, 27 °C, with a volumetric flow rate of 40 m³/min enters the non-mixing counterflow heat exchanger part of an air-conditioning system. This air exits the heat exchanger at 0.95 bar and 17 °C. The cooling of this air is done by a stream of refrigerant R-134a that enters the heat exchanger at 5 bar with a quality of 0.3 and exits at 5 bar and 20 °C. Determine the overall rate of entropy production during this process, in kW. The overall heat exchanger is insulated. The operation is steady state, and the effects of potential and kinetic energy are negligible.
