Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 5 MPa and 4500C and leaves at a pressure of 1.4 MPa. Determine the work output of the turbine per unit mass of steam, if the process is reversible.

Respuesta :

Answer:350.92 KJ/kg

Explanation:

Given the process is reversible adiabatic i.e it is isentropic

[tex]P_1=5 MPa [/tex]

[tex]T_1=4500 MPa[/tex]

[tex]P_2=1.4 MPa[/tex]

From steam table

[tex]h_1=3317.03KJ/kg[/tex]

For isentropic process [tex]s_1=s_2[/tex]

at [tex]P_2=1.4 MPa[/tex]

[tex]s_2=6.82 KJ/kg-k[/tex]

[tex]h_2=2966.11 KJ/kg[/tex]

Therefore Work output of the turbine per unit mass of steam is =[tex]h_1-h_2[/tex]

=3317.03-2966.11

=350.92 KJ/kg
