Argon gas enters an adiabatic turbine at 1350°F and 200 psia at a rate of 40 lbm/min and exhausts at 20 psia. If the power output of the turbine is 105 hp, determine the isentropic efficiency.
Refrigerant-134a enters an adiabatic compressor as saturated vapor at 30 psia at a rate of 20 ft3 /min and exits at 70 psia pressure. If the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 80 percent, determine the second-law efficiency of the compressor. Assume the surroundings to be at 75°F.
Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 6 MPa, 6008C,
and 80 m/s and leaves at 50 kPa, 1008C, and 140 m/s. If
the power output of the turbine is 5 MW, determine (a) the
reversible power output and (b) the second-law efficiency of
the turbine. Assume the surroundings to be at 258C.
