Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 10 MPa and 500 °C at a rate of 3 kg/s and leaves at
20 kPa. If the power output of the turbine is 2 MWatt, determine the temperature of the
steam at the turbine exit.

20. The power output of an adiabatic steam turbine is 5 MW, and the inlet and the exit
conditions of the steam are as follow: Inlet Exit Pressure = 2 MPa Temperature = 400 °C

steam. (c) Determine the work done per unit mass of the steam flowing through the
turbine. [Ans: 5.74 kg/s, 870.96 kJ/kg]

22. Ait at 80 kPa, 27 °C and 220 m/s enters a diffuser at a rate of 2.5 kg/s and leaves at 42 °C.

kJ/s during this process. Determine (a) the exit velocity and (b) the exit pressure of the
air. [Ans: 62 m/s, 91.1 kPa]

23. A garden hose attached with a nozzle is used to fill a 10-gal bucket. Theinner
diameter of the hose is 2 cm, and it reduces to 0.8 cm at the nozzleexit (Fig. 5–
9). f it takes 50 s to fill the bucket with water, determine(a) the volume and mass
flow rates of water through the hose, and (b) theaverage velocity of water at the
nozzle exit.

24. Air at 100 kPa and 280 K is compressed steadily to 600 kPa and 400 K.The mass
flow rate of the air is 0.02 kg/s, and a heat loss of 16 kJ/kg occursduring the process.

25. Steam at 250 psia and 700°F steadily enters a nozzle whose inlet area is0.2 ft2.
The mass flow rate of steam through the nozzle is 10 lbm/s. Steamleavesthe
nozzle at 200 psia with a velocity of 900 ft/s. Heat losses from thenozzle per unit
mass of the steam are estimated to be 1.2 Btu/lbm. Determine(a) the inlet velocity
and (b) the exit temperature of the steam.
26. Heat is transferred to a heat engine from a furnace at a rate of 80 MW. If the rate of
waste heat rejection to a nearby river is 50 MW, determine the net power output and the
thermal efficiency for this heat engine.

27. The food compartment of a refrigerator, shown in Fig, is maintained at 4°C by removing
heat from it at a rate of 360 kJ/min. If the required power input to the refrigerator is 2
kW, determine (a) the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator and (b) the rate of
heat rejection to the room that houses the refrigerator.
