    The document is a quiz problem about analyzing the performance of a steam turbine. It provides information about the inlet and outlet conditions of steam entering and leaving an adiabatic turbine. Part a) calculates the reversible power output of the turbine to be either 5842 kW or 5808 kW depending on whether kinetic energy is considered. Part b) determines the second-law efficiency of the turbine by taking the ratio of actual power output to reversible power output, calculating the efficiency to be either 85.6% or 86.1% respectively.

    Quiz #2 - T01: ID #:

    Problem: Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 6 M P a, 600 ◦ C,


    and 80 m/s and leaves at 50 kP a, 100 ◦ C, and 140 m/s.
    If the power output of the turbine is 5 M W , determine:
    (a) the reversible power output [kW ] and
    (b) the second-law efficiency of the turbine.
    Assume the surroundings to be at 25 ◦ C.

    Assumptions

    1. SS-SF
    2. heat loss to the surroundings is negligible
    3. P E → 0 but NOT KE

    Part a)
    From a 1st law energy balance on the system

    Ėin − Ėout = ΔEsystem


    0 steady state
       
    V12 V22
    ṁ h1 + = Ẇout + ṁ h2 +
    2 2
    1 mark
     
    V11 − V12
    Ẇout = ṁ h1 − h2 +
    2

    where for Table A-6

    inlet: state 1 −→ @P1 = 6 M P a and T1 = 600 ◦ C

    h1 = 3658.8 kJ/kg
    1 mark
    s1 = 7.1693 kJ/kg · K

    exit: state 2 −→ @P1 = 50 kP a and T1 = 100 ◦ C

    h1 = 2682.4 kJ/kg 1 mark

    s1 = 7.6953 kJ/kg · K
    Therefore
      
    (80 m/s)2 − (140 m/s)2 1 kJ/kg
    5000 kJ/s = ṁ 3658.8 − 2682.4 +
    2 1000 m2 /s2
    2 marks
    ṁ = 5.156 kg/s

    The maximum power output is given as

    Ẋin − Ẋout − Ẋdes


    0 = ΔẊsystem
    0 (steady state)

    Ẋin = Ẋout

    ṁψ1 = Ẇrev,out + ṁψ2

    Ẇrev,out = ṁ (ψ1 − ψ2 ) 1 mark

    = ṁ[(h1 − h2 ) − T0 (s1 − s2 ) − ΔKE − ΔP E


    0 ]

    If we assume that ΔKE = 0, then

    Ẇrev,out = (5.156 kg/s)[3658.8 − 2682.4 − (298 K)(7.1693 − 7.6953) kJ/kg · K]

    = 5842 kW ⇐

    Or if we assume that ΔKE = 0, then 2 marks

    Ẇrev,out = (5.156 kg/s)[3658.8 − 2682.4 − (298 K)(7.1693 − 7.6953) kJ/kg · K


     
    (80 m/s)2 − (140 m/s)2 1 kJ/kg
    +
    2 1000 m2 /s2

    = 5808 kW ⇐

    Note: either solution is acceptable

    Part b)
    The second law efficiency is

    Ẇout 5000 kW
    η2 = = = 85.6% for KE = 0
    Ẇrev,out 5842 kW
    2 marks

    Ẇout 5000 kW
    η2 = = = 86.1% for KE = 0
    Ẇrev,out 5808 kW

    Note: either solution is acceptable
