Argon gas enters steadily an adiabatic turbine at 900 kPa and 450C with a velocity of 80 m/s and leaves at 150 kPa with a velocity of 150 m/s. The inlet area of the turbine is 60 cm2. If the power output of the turbine is 250 kW, determine the exit temperature of the argon.

Temperature at the exit =

Explanation:

For the steady energy flow through a control volume, the power output is given as

Inlet area of the turbine =

To find the mass flow rate, we can apply the ideal gas laws to estimate the specific volume, from there we can get the mass flow rate.

Assuming Argon behaves as an Ideal gas, we have the specific volume

as

for Ideal gasses, the enthalpy change can be calculated using the formula

hence we have

Note: to convert the Kinetic energy term to kilojoules, it was multiplied by 1000

evaluating the above equation, we have

Hence, the temperature at the exit =

good for her? ? where is the question?
