Question

A steam turbine receives steam steady at 10 bar with a enthalpy of 3000 kJ/kg and discharges at 1 bar with an enthalpy of 2700 kJ/kg. The work output is 250 kJ/kg.

Solution

The correct option is B 50 kJ
(b)
$p_{1} = 10 b a r;$ $h_{1} = 3000 k J / k g;$ $p_{2} = 1 b a r$
$h_{2} = 2700 k J / k g;$ $w = 250 k J / k g$
$q = ?$
The steady flow energy equation for unit mass flow rate,
$h_{1} + \frac{V_{1}^{2}}{2} + g z_{1} + q = h_{2} + \frac{V_{1}^{2}}{2} + g z_{2} + w$
Change in KE and PE are negligible
$h_{1} + q = h_{2} + w$
$3000 + q = 2700 + 250$
or $q = - 50 k J / k g$
The heat transfer from the turbine casing to the surroundings is equal to 50 kJ\kg.

Q. Steam enters a turbine at 30 bar,

300^{o} C

(u=2750 ,kJ/kg, h=2993,kJ/kg) and exits the turbine as saturated liquid at 15 kPa (u = 225 kJ/kg, h = 226 kJ/kg). Heat loss to the surrounding is 50 kJ/kg of steam flowing through the turbine. Neglecting changes in kinetic energy and potential energy, the work output of the turbine (in kJ/kg of steam) is

Q. Steam with specific enthalpy (h) 3214 kJ/kg enters an adiabatic turbine operating at steady state with a flow rate 10 kg/s. As it expands, at a point where h is 2920 kJ/kg, 1.5kg/s is extracted for heating purposes. The remaining 8.5\ kg/s further expands to the turbine exit, where h=2374 kJ/kg. Neglectign changes in kinetic and potential energies, the net power output (in kW) of the turbine is

Q. Steam at a pressure of 20 bar and 250°C enters a turbine and leave finally at a pressure of 0.05 bar. Three feed water heated are used which are operating at 5 bar, 1.5 bar and 0.3 bar. Assume following data for steam.

At 20 bar and 250°C, h= 2905 kJ/kg, Enthalpy of steam entering first, second and third feed water heaters are 2600 kJ/kg, 2430 kJ/kg and 2210 kJ/kg respectively. Enthalpy of steam finally leaving the turbine is 2000 kJ/kg.
