Consider a turbine; working substance is air.

cp=1.0 kJ/kgK , k=1.4

v1=0.03 , v2=0.08 m3/kg , p1=2.5 bar; state 1 is enterance, state 2 is the exit of the turbine. The turbine is not ideal (isentropic); the air goes through a state change according to pv^n=constant , n=1.6 Compute the ideal and actual specific works and turbine efficiency.

pvn=constant , n=1.6

Expert Solution

One assumption is made while solving the problem is that the exit condition given is for actual condition and considering it the ideal condition is calculated.

one important concept while dealing with the ideal and the actual condition is that the pressure at entry and exit are the same so there is a need to calculate the specific volume at the entry and the exit condition for the actual and the ideal case.

all the above entry and exit condition for the actual and ideal case is evaluated to calculate the work done for both the condition with the help of direct formula for an adiabatic and polytropic process for open system and then determine the required efficiency of the turbine.

Air (cp = 1.0 kJ/kgK) enters an air conditioning system at 40C with a mass flow rate of 1.5 kg/s. The air is cooled by exchanging heat with a stream of R-134a refrigerant that enters the heat exchanger at -8C and 20% quality, and exits with 100% quality. If 25 kW of heat is transferred out of the air, determine: (40 pts) i) Mass flowrate of R-134a (kg/hr) ii) Exit temperature of air (C) iii) Exit pressure of R-134a (kPa)

Air (Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg · K) is to be preheated by hot exhaust gases in a cross-flow heat exchanger before it enters the furnace. Air enters the heat exchanger at 95 kPa and 20◦C at a rate of 0.90 kg/s. The combustion gases (Cp = 1.1 kJ/kg · K) enter at a rate of 1.1 kg/s and 150◦C. The product of the overall heat transfer coefficient and the heat transfer surface area is U A = 1200 W/K. Assuming...

Consider a piston cylinder device with a volume of 0.04 m3 and initially contains air at 293 K and 1 bar. It is desired to reverse the cycle and use it as a refrigerator. In this case the process would begin with PV1.36 = constant process from an initial state of 293 K and a pressure of 10 Bars. The gas is allowed to expand to a volume 3.5 times the volume of state 1.
