Problem 6.

131
Water vapor enters a turbine operating at steady state at 1000 F, 140 psi with a volumetric flow rate of
21.6 ft^3/s and expands isentropically to 2 psi. Determine the power developed by the turbine, in hp.
Ignore kinetic and potential effects. How does the power you calculated relate to the maximum power that
can be developed given the inlet/outlet conditions?
Problem 6.132
Refrigerant 22 enters a compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at 10 bar and compressed
adiabatically in an internally reversible process to 16 bar. Ignoring kinetic and potential energy effects,
determine the required mass flow rate of refrigerant, in kg/s, if the compressor power input is 6 kW. Draw
the process on a T-s diagram.
Problem 6.138
Water vapor at 5 bar, 320 deg C enters a turbine operating at steady state with a volumetric flow rate of
0.65 m^3/s and expands adiabatically to an exit state of 1 bar, 160 deg C. Kinetic and potential energy
effects are negligible. Determine for the turbine (a) the power developed, in kW, (b) the rate of entropy
production, in kW/K, and (c) the isentropic turbine efficiency. Draw the process on a T-s diagram.
