What is a compressed Air Turbine? What’s it used for ? Benefits? How is a mechanical break used with it ?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Compressed air Turbine means the Turbine runs with the compressed air to generate power. The compressed air available at the exit of the compressor this air expands in the Turbine to generate mechanical power. which is used to generate the electric power . Benefits of compressed air turbine is the cost of fuel is nil. And maintenance of the Turbine also less cost and installation cost is less.

These compressed air is to stop the automobiles means the compressed air used apply the breaking force. Compressed air used instead of hydraulic fluid the remaining operations are same as hydraulic breaking system.

In a gas turbine plant, air is compressed through a pressure ratio of 6 from 15 ?C. It is then heated to the maximum permissible temperature of 750 ?C and expanded in two stages each of expansion ratio ?6, the air being reheated between the stages to 750 ?C. A heat exchanger allows the heating of the compressed air through 75 percent of the maximum range possible. Calculate the cycle efficiency, the work ratio and the net work output per...

Air enters a steady-flow turbine. The conditions of the air entering and leaving the turbine are as follows: inlet, 300 kPa and 52°C; exit, 100 kPa and 12°C. The mass flow rate is 10 kg/s. Heat transfer from the turbine to the surroundings and the kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Calculate the power developed by the turbine. Determine whether the process in the turbine is reversible. If not, determine the isentropic efficiency of the turbine.

I need to design an air nozzle for a compressed air system with multiple outlets. All I know about the current system is there is 109 psi available in the air line. If I use the mass flow rate equation for a compressed ideal gas, how do I know the pressure hasn’t dropped in the line to decrease the Mach number as I increase the area of the nozzles? If the flow is choked, will the velocity remain constant as...
