Question 3:
Superheated steam enters a turbine at 7 MPa, 550°C, and exits at 150kPa
a. Draw the system.
b. If the process is reversible adiabatic (isentropic), find the final temperature (T2), the
final enthalpy (h2,) of the steam, and do the energy balance to calculate the turbine
work (Wts).
c. Using entropy balance, show that Sgen for the above process is 0.
d. If the isentropic efficiency is 85%, find the actual final temperature (T23)
and calculate Sgen?
e. Plot process in (b) and (d) on a Ts diagram with proper labelling.
4. An evaporator has R-410A at -20°C and quality 80% flowing in. The exit flow is saturated vapor at
-20°C.
a. Consider the heating to be a reversible process and find the specific heat transfer from the
entropy balance. (Answer: 48.7 kJ/kg)
b. If the heat source was at -10°C and the inlet and outlet streams still have the same properties as
in a), calculate the specific entropy generation? (Answer: 7.33 J/(kg K))
One way to determine the quality of saturated steam is to throttle the steam to a low enough pressure that it exists as a superheated vapor.
Saturated steam at 500 kPa is throttled to 0.1 MPa, 100 oC.
Determine the quality of the steam at 400 kPa side. (Starts the calculation from mass and energy conservation)
