Steam enters a turbine steadily at 7 MPa and 600°C with a velocity of 60 m/s and leaves at 25 kPa with a quality of 95 percent. A heat loss of 20 kJ/kg occurs during the process. The inlet area of the turbine is 150 cm2, and the exit area is 1400 cm2. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of the steam, (b) the exit velocity, and (c) the power output.

The mass flow rate = 16.17kg/sec

The exit velocity = 680.84 m/sec

Explanation:

Attached is a copy of the diagram to this question

Let's write out the given data

T= 600⁰C

The enthalpy at exit is

The specific volume is

a) To calculate the mass flow rate

The mass flow rate is 16.17kg/s

b) Exit velocity

The exit velocity is 680.64m/s

c) The power output

The power output of the machine is 14562.37kw

a) , b) , c)

Explanation:

A turbine is a steady-state devices which transforms fluid energy into mechanical energy and is modelled after the Principle of Mass Conservation and First Law of Thermodynamics, whose expressions are described hereafter:

Specific volumes and enthalpies are obtained from property tables for steam:

Inlet (Superheated Steam)

Outlet (Liquid-Vapor Mix)

a) The mass flow rate of the steam is:

b) The exit velocity of steam is:

c) The power output of the steam turbine is:

explanation:

d would be the most obvious choice to this question. leaders are supposed to herd their underlings like a shepherd to sheep. a leader should also listen to others when they are talking to one other to gain a better understanding of their mission and surroundings.
