Chapter 7, Problem 7.70P

Steam at 44 bar and a dryness fraction, x = 0.9 is throttled to a pressure of 12 bar. Calculate thedifference in power output in kilowatts between the following two expansion processes:a) Steam at the initial pressure of 44 bar and x = 0.9 at State 1 is expanded in a turbine to State 3 at 0.12 bar.b) Steam at the reduced pressure of 12 bar after throttling at State 2 is expanded in another turbine to State 4 at the same exhaust pressure of 0.12 bar.The mass flow rate of steam is 8 kg/sec in both cases and the expansion in both turbines can be assumed to be reversible and adiabatic. Sketch both expansion processes on the same T-s diagram using the respective initial and final state points as described above.Explain the reason for the difference in power output.Calculate the mass flow rate of steam for the turbine operating at the throttled/reduced pressure to generate the same output as the turbine operating at the pressure before throttling.NOTE: You are required to number the state…

7.66 Referring to the discussion of Sec. Z.6.2 as required, evaluate the exergetic efficiency for each of the following cases, assuming steady-state operation with negligible effects of heat transfer with the surroundings: a. Turbine: Wer 1200 hp, e 250 Btu//lb, eg = 15 Btu/lb, m 240 lb/min. b. Compressor: Wev/m=-105 kJ /kg, e = 5 kJ/kg, eg = 90 kJ/kg, m 2 kg /s. c. Counterflow heat exchanger: mh = 3 kg/s, me 10 kg /s, ef = 2100 kJ/kg, e = 300 kJ/kg, É = 3.4 MW 10 lb /s, m3 15 b /s, en = 1000 Btu/Ib, eg = 50 Btu/Ib, eg = 400 Btu/lb d. Direct contact heat exchanger: m1

A power washer is being used to clean the siding of a house. Water enters at 20 ◦C (specific volume = 1.0018×10−3 m3/kg), 1 atm, with a volumetric flow rate of 0.1 L/s through a 2.5 cm diameter hose. A jet water exits at 23 ◦C, 1 atm, with a velocity of 50 m/s at an elevation of 10 m. At steady state, the magnitude of the heat transfer rate from the power unit to the surroundings is 10% of the power input. The water can be considered incompressible with specific heat equal to 4.18 kJ/kg · K and g = 9.81 m/s2. What is the power input to the motor in kW?
