Chapter 7.13, Problem 101P
It is well known that the power consumed by a compressor can be reduced by cooling the gas during compression. Inspired by this, somebody proposes to cool the liquid as it flows through a pump, in order to reduce the power consumption of the pump. Would you support this proposal? Explain.

A geothermal powerplant consists of a flash chamber (basically a yalve) which decreases the
pressure of the entering hot water. The saturated liquid-vapor mixture exiting
to a separator which separates the liquid and vapor phases of the mixture. Water vapor exiting the
separator is then sent to a steam turbine to produce shaft power. Assume that water enters the flash
chamber as saturated liquid at T1 °C with a mass flow rate of M kg/s. The flash chamber reduces the
pressure to 500 kPa. If water exits the turbine at 30 kPa and with a quality (x) of 0.1, calculate the
power produced by the turbine. Assume all components are adiabatic and neglect kinetic and potential
energy changes.

A nozzle is placed horizontally and a working fluid is passing through steadily. At the nozzle’s inlet, the velocity of fluid is 30 m/s and specific enthalpy is 2500 kJ/kg. At the exit from nozzle, its specific enthalpy is 2000 kJ/kg. Calculate:
The velocity of the fluid at exit
Can you imagine a steam power plant working without steam condenser, letting the turbine throw its exhaust steam away into the ambient air? Discuss the consequences of such stupid idea.

- why radial gas turbines and compressors are not suitable for large applications.arrow_forward(b) The entropy of the steam increases in actual steam turbines as a result of irreversibilities. In an effort to control entropy increase, it is proposed to cool the steam in the turbine by running cooling water around the turbine casing. It is argued that this will reduce the entropy and the enthalpy of the steam at the turbine exit and this increase the work output. Evaluate this proposal.arrow_forwardA pump-turbine is a piece of equipment that can operate either as a pump or as a turbine, depending on the direction of the water flow. The picture on the right shows a pump-turbine system.When it is daytime, this system is used as a turbine, taking water from the upper reservoir and discharging it into the lower reservoir, producing electricity. When it is nighttime, electricity is cheaper, and this system is used as a pump, taking water from the lower reservoir and discharging it into the higher reservoir, so that it can produce electricity again the next day when it is used as a turbine. Consider that, using the system as a turbine or pump, the water flow is 1m3/s and the pressure drop is 5 m, determine:(a) The power extracted from the fluid by the turbine (points 1 and 2 are as shown in the figure: z1=35 m and z2=0 m).(b) The useful power delivered to the fluid by the pump (points 1 and 2 in the figure should be reversed: z1=0 m and z2=35 m).arrow_forward
- Air at a rate of 50 m3/min enters an adiabatic compressor at a pressure of 100 kPa and a temperature of 24.3 C and exits at 500 kPa and 189.55 C. It then enters an insulated heat exchanger where it gets cooled by water. The air exits the heat exchanger at a temperature of 57.35 C. Water enters the heat exchanger at 20 C and exits at 50 C. Calculate the compressor power in kW, the mass for rate of the cooling water in kg/sec, and the rate of entropy generation for the compressor and the heat exchanger. Assume a mean heat capacity of water at ?? = 4.18 ??/???. You may also assume that there is no pressure drop in the heat exchanger)arrow_forwardThe turbocharger of an internal combustion engine consists of a turbine and a compressor. Hot exhaust gases flow through the turbine to produce work, and the work output from the turbine is used as the work input to the compressor. The pressure of ambient air is increased as it flows through the compressor before it enters the engine cylinders. Thus, the purpose of a turbocharger is to increase the pressure of air so that more air gets into the cylinder. Consequently, more fuel can be burned and more power can be produced by the engine. In a turbocharger, exhaust gases enter the turbine at 400°C and 120 kPa at a rate of 0.02 kg/s and leave at 350°C. Air entersthe compressor at 50°C and 100 kPa and leaves at 130 kPa at a rate of 0.018 kg/s. The compressor increases the air pressure with a side effect: It also increases the air temperature, which increases the possibility that a gasoline engine will experience an engine knock. To avoid this, an aftercooler is placed after the compressor…arrow_forwardThe turbocharger of an internal combustion engine consists of a turbine and a compressor.

- An adiabatic and steady-flow turbine with air as the working fluid initially at 6000 kPa and 550 K has a flow rate of 13.5 kg/s. At the exit of this turbine the air expands by 10 times its original specific volume to a pressure of 320 kPa. (a)What is the temperature of the air at the outlet of the turbine (in K)? Provide your answer up to 1 decimal place using rounding (b)Assume that specific heats vary with temperature. What is the power produced in kW? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. (c)If specific heats are evaluated at the average temperature, what is the power produced by this turbine in kW? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.arrow_forwardThe Figure shows a solar collector panel embedded in a roof. The panel, which has a surface area of 24 ft2, receives energy from the sun at a rate of 200 Btu/h per ft2 of collector surface. Twenty-five percent of the incoming energy is lost to the surroundings. The remaining energy is used to heat domestic hot water from 90 to 120°F. The water passes through the solar collector with a negligible pressure drop. Neglecting kinetic and potential effects, determine at steady state how many gallons of water at 120°F the collector generates per hour.arrow_forwardIn an actual gas turbine operation, due to irreversibility factors, its operation deviates from the ideal conditions.
