Explanation Consider the nitrogen gas flows at steady state through one inlet and one exit system (pipe and duct flow). Hence, the inlet and exit mass flow rates are equal. m ˙ 1 = m ˙ 2 = m ˙ Write the energy rate balance equation for one inlet and one outlet system. [ Q ˙ 1 + W ˙ 1 + m ˙ ( h 1 + V 1 2 2 + g z 1 ) ] − [ Q ˙ 2 + W ˙ 2 + m ˙ ( h 2 + V 2 2 2 + g z 2 ) ] = Δ E ˙ system (I) Here, the rate of heat transfer is Q ˙ , the rate of work transfer is W ˙ , the enthalpy is h and the velocity is V , the gravitational acceleration is g , the elevation from the datum is z and the rate of change in net energy of the system is Δ E ˙ system ; the suffixes 1 and 2 indicates the inlet and outlet of the system. The nitrogen gas flows at steady state through the system. Hence, the rate of change in net energy of the system becomes zero. Δ E ˙ system = 0 Neglect the heat transfer (adiabatic process), work transfer and potential energy changes i.e. W ˙ 1 = W ˙ 2 = 0 , Q ˙ 1 = Q ˙ 2 = 0 , Δ PE = 0 . The Equations (I) reduced as follows. [ 0 + 0 + m ˙ ( h 1 + V 1 2 2 + 0 ) ] − [ 0 + 0 + m ˙ ( h 2 + V 2 2 2 + 0 ) ] = 0 m ˙ ( h 1 + V 1 2 2 ) = m ˙ ( h 2 + V 2 2 2 ) h 1 + V 1 2 2 = h 2 + V 2 2 2 V 1 2 2 − V 2 2 2 = h 2 − h 1 (II) The change in enthalpy is expresses as follow. h 2 − h 1 = c p ( T 2 − T 1 ) Here, the specific heat is c p , the exit temperature is T 2 and the inlet temperature is T 1 . Substitute c p ( T 2 − T 1 ) for h 2 − h 1 in Equation (II) and rearrange it to obtain V 1 . V 1 2 2 = c p ( T 2 − T 1 ) + V 2 2 2 V 1 2 = 2 [ c p ( T 2 − T 1 ) + V 2 2 2 ] V 1 2 = 2 c p ( T 2 − T 1 ) + V 2 2 (III) Write the formula for mass flow rate of nitrogen gas at initial and final. m ˙ 1 = A 1 V 1 P 1 R T 1 (IV) m ˙ 2 = A 2 V 2 P 2 R T 2 (V) Here, the cross sectional area of the pipe is A , the velocity is V , the gas constant is R and the temperature is T ; the subscripts 1 and 2 indicates the inlet and outlet condition of nitrogen gas. Refer Table A-2E (a), “Ideal-gas specific heats of various common gases”. The specific heat of nitrogen gas is 0.248 Btu/lbm ⋅ R . Conclusion: Here, the inlet and exit mass flow rates are equal. Equate the Equations (IV) and (V) to obtain the exit velocity V 2

Saturated vapor enters the turbine at 8.0 MPa and exits 0.008 MPa. The turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 82.06% Velocity and elevation changes are insignificant. Determine the electrical power it can produce in kW if the mass of steam is 32.9 kg/s, and the mechanical and electrical efficiencies are 77.75% and 93.32%. For the steam table, please use the green book entitled "Thermodynamics Properties of Water Including Vapor, Liquid, and Solid Phases" by Keenan, Keyes, Hill, and Moore.

Five hundred kilograms per hour of steam moves a turbine. The steam enters the turbine at 44 atm and 450°C with a speed linear 60 m/s, and exits at a point 5 m below the inlet, at pressure atmospheric and at a speed of 360 m/s. The turbine provides work on the shaft with a rating of 70 kW, and the heat loss in the turbine is estimated at 104 kcal/h. Calculate the variation in specific enthalpy associated with the process.
