A gas turbine expands air adiabatically at 1000 kPa and 550 ⁰C to 120 kPa and 130⁰C. Air enters the turbine through a 0.25 m 2 opening with an aveage velocity of 45 m/s, and exhausts through a 1 m2 opening. Assume the air is ideal gas with constant specific heats. Take the constant pressure specific heat and gas constant of air as Cp= 1.05 kJ/(kg K) and R=0.287 kJ/(kg K), respectively. Determine; (a) the mass flow rate of air...

An ideal gas expands isobarically (constant pressure) from point A to point B. The gas is compressed isothermally (constant temperature) from point B to C. Finally, the gas goes through an isochoric (constant volume) process until it returns to point A. Given: Volume at point A = Volume at point C = 0.004 m3, Volume at point B = 0.008 m3, Pressure at point A = Pressure at point B = 1,000,000 Pa, Temperature at point A = 600 K....
