You are operating a fan with the characteristics shown in the figure below. The 30 kW fan currently operates continuously at full speed with the flow reduced to 90% of its rated capacity using downstream dampers. An evaluation reveals that there is inadequate fresh air being introduced into the building during the day, and too much is supplied at night. The flow rate needs to increase to 100% from 7am to 6pm, and can be reduced to 50% at night. What would be the CHANGE in energy consumption per year if this change was done using either downstream dampers, or using a 97% efficient VSD.
• ηmot = 0.96 at the nominal speed
• ηmot = 0.94 at 90% of the nominal speed
• ηmot = 0.89 at 50% of the nominal speed

In a marine gas turbine unit a high-pressure turbine drives the compressor, and a low-pressure turbine drives the propeller through suitable gearing. The overall pressure ratio is 4/1, and the maximum temperature is 650⁰C. The isentropic efficiencies of the compressor, High Pressure turbine, and Low Pressure turbine are 0.8, 0.83 and 0.85 respectively, and the mechanical efficiency of both shafts is 98%.

Calculate the pressure entering the Low Pressure turbine when the air intake conditions are 1.01 bar and 25⁰C. Calculate also the thermal efficiency and the shaft power when the mass air flow is 60 kg/s. Neglect kinetic energy changes, and the pressure loss in combustion.

For all compression processes take cp = 1.005 kJ/kg K and ɣ=1.4; for the combustion and expansion processes take cp = 1.15 kJ/kg K and ɣ=1.333. Neglect the mass of fuel.

A gas turbine unit has a pressure ratio of 5/1 and a maximum cycle temperature of 550⁰C. The turbine drives the compressor and an electric generator., the mechanical efficiency of the drive being 97%. The ambient temperature is 20⁰C and the isentropic efficiencies of the compressor and turbine are 0.8 and 0.83 respectively.

Calculate the power output in kilowatts for an airflow of 15kg/s. Calculate also the thermal efficiency and the work ratio. Neglect changes in kinetic energy, and the loss of pressure in the combustion chamber.

Take cp = 1.005 kJ/kg K and ɣ=1.4 for the compression process, and take cp = 1.15 kJ/kg K and ɣ=1.333 for all combustion and expansion processes.
