Tutorial 7

The document presents several thermodynamic problems involving compressors, turbines, and nozzles, detailing the calculations for entropy change, power output, and exit conditions. Key results include an entropy change of -0.0503 kW/K for air compression, a power output of 2285 kW for an isentropic steam turbine, and an exit pressure of 3300 kPa for a water pump. Additional calculations for a turbine show an exit temperature of 69.1°C and a power output of 3054 kW.

7-20 Air is compressed by a 15-kW compressor from P, to P,. The air temperature is maintained constant at 25°C during this process as a result of heat transfer to the sur- rounding medium at 20°C. Determine the rate of entropy change of the air. State the assumptions made in solving this problem. Answer: —0.0503 kW/K 7-49 An isentropic steam turbine processes 2 kg/s of steam at 3 MPa, which is exhausted at 50 kPa and 100°C. 5 percent of this flow is diverted for feedwater heating at 500 kPa. Determine the power produced by this turbine, in kW. Answer: 2285 kW 7-81 Air enters a nozzle steadily at 280 kPa and 77°C with a velocity of 50 m/s and exits at 85 kPa and 320 m/s. The heat losses from the nozzle to the surrounding medium at 20°C are estimated to be 3.2 kJ/kg. Determine (a) the exit temperature and (b) the total entropy change for this process. 7-106 Liquid water enters a 16-kW pump at 100-kPa pres- sure at a rate of 5 kg/s. Determine the highest pressure the liquid water can have at the exit of the pump. Neglect the kinetic and potential energy changes of water, and take the specific volume of water to be 0.001 m*/kg. Answer: 3300 kPa Pr 100 kPa EN Pump 7-120 Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 8 MPa and 500°C with a mass flow rate of 3 kg/s and leaves at 30 kPa. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 0.90. Neglecting the kinetic energy change of the steam, determine (a) the tem- perature at the turbine exit and (b) the power output of the turbine. Answers: (a) 69.1°C, (b) 3054 kW 8MPa 500°C 30 kPa
