Air at 510°C and 450 kPa enters an ideal, polytropic and adiabatic turbine. The exit pressure is 101 kPa. In steady state, the turbine produces 50 kW of power. Find the:
a. Exit temperature
b. Mass flow rate

Respuesta :

Answer:511 K

Explanation:

Given

[tex]T_1=510^{\circ} C\approx 783\ K[/tex]

[tex]P_1=450\ KPa[/tex]

[tex]P_2=101\ KPa[/tex]

Power Produces [tex]W=50\ kJ[/tex]

For Polytropic Process

[tex]\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}=[\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}]^{\frac{k-1}{k}}[/tex]

For air [tex]k=1.4[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}=[\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}]^{\frac{k-1}{k}}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{T_2}{783}=[\dfrac{101}{450}]^{\frac{1.4-1}{1.4}}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{T_2}{783}=[\dfrac{101}{450}]^{0.2857}[/tex]

[tex]T_2=783\times 0.652[/tex]

[tex]T_2=510.94\ K\approx 511\ K[/tex]

(b)

[tex]W=\dot{m}c_p(T_1-T_2)[/tex]

[tex]50=\dot{m}\times 1.005\times (783-511)[/tex]

[tex]\dot{m}=\dfrac{50}{273.36}[/tex]

[tex]\dot{m}=0.183\ kg/s[/tex]
