7-128 Steam at 3 MPa and 400°C is expanded to 30 kPa in
an adiabatic turbine with an isentropic efficiency of 92 per-
cent. Determine the power produced by this turbine, in kW,
when the mass flow rate is 2 kg/s.

Assumptions 1 This is a steady-Slow process since there is no change with time. 2 Kinetic and potential energy changes are
negligible, 3 The device is adiabatic and thus heat transfer is negligible.

From the isentropic efficiency relation,
‘There is only one inlet and one ext, and thus 1, = it; =n. We take the actual compressor asthe system, which is control
‘volume since mass crosses the boundary. The energy balance for this steady-flow system can be expressed as

Substituting, the power input to the compressor becomes,
06059 kas (289.69 — 234.44)kirkg = 3.35 KW17-129 iis expanded by an adiabatic turbine, The isentropic efficiency is to be determined.
Assumptions 1 This isa steady-flow process since there is no change with time. 2 Kinetic and potential energy changes are
‘negligible. 3 The device is adiabatic and thus heat transfer is negligible. 4 Air isan ideal gas with constant specific heats.

K are ¢,= 1.013 kidkg*C and k= 1.395 (Table A-2a).
Analysis We take the turbine as the system, which isa control volume since
‘mass crosses the boundary, Noting that one fluid stream enters and leaves the
turbine, the energy balance for this steady-flow system can be expressed in
