Chapter IV - PROPERTIES OF PURE SUBSTANCES

Problem 4.33

An adiabatic steam turbine receives 5 kg/s of steam at 1.0 MPa and 400°C and the
steam exits at 50 kPa and 100% quality. Determine: (a) the power produced; (b)
the exit area in m2 if the exit velocity is 250 m/s.

Given: Adiabatic turbine expanding steam with specified inlet and exit conditions.

Find: Power and exit area.

Sketch & Given Data:

Assumptions: 1) Steam is in equilibrium.

2) Changes in kinetic and potential energy are negligible.

Analysis: Find inlet enthalpy using Appendix A.7.

h1 = 3263.9 kJ/kg

Find exit enthalpy and specific volume using Appendix A.6.

h2 = hg = 2645.9 kJ/kg
(a) Writing first law equation for the open system.

W = m(h1 -~) = (5kg/s)(3263.9kJ/kg-2645.9kJ/kg)


= 3090kw

(b) Using continuity equation.

Ai = mv2 = (5kg/s)(3.2408m3/kg) = 0_0648 m3


V (250m/s)
