- Conduction 1. A thermodynamic analysis of a proposed Brayton cycle gas turbine yields P= 5 MW of net power production. The compressor, at an average temperature of T. = 400°C, is driven by the turbine at an average temperature of T₁ = 1000°C by way of an L = 1m-long, d= 70mm - diameter shaft of thermal conductivity k = 40 W/m K. Compressor min T Combustion chamber Shaft L Turbine Th out (a) Compare the steady-state conduction rate through the shaft connecting the hot turbine to the warm compressor to the net power predicted by the thermodynamics- based analysis. (b) A research team proposes to scale down the gas turbine of part (a), keeping all dimensions in the same proportions. The team assumes that the same hot and cold temperatures exist as in part (a) and that the net power output of the gas turbine is proportional to the overall volume of the device. Plot the ratio of the conduction through the shaft to the net power output of the turbine over the range 0.005 m s Ls 1 m.

Condenser effectivenessarrow_forwardThe condenser of a steam power plant consists of AISI 302 Stainless steel tubes, each with outer and inner diameters of 35 mm and 30 mm, respectively. Saturated steam at 0.135 bar condenses on the outer surface of the tube, while water at a mean temperature of 295 K is in fully developed flow through the tube (you can assume that 295 K is the mean temperature in the axial direction of the tube (e.g. along its length) or you may assume that the inlet water temperature is 295 K). For a water mass flow rate of 0.22 kg/s, what is the outer surface temperature of the tube and the rates of heat transfer and steam condensation per unit tube length? As an approximation you may evaluate the properties of the liquid film at the saturation temperature.arrow_forward
