CLO – 2
Air at 200 kPa and 950 K enters an adiabatic nozzle at low velocity and is discharged at a pressure of 80 kPa. If the
isentropic efficiency of the nozzle is 92 percent, determine (a) the maximum possible exit velocity, (b) the exit
temperature, and (c) the actual exit velocity of the air. Assume constant specific heats for air and k=1.354.

Analyze the above mentioned nozzle on the basis of Pressure Ratio.

Analyze the above mentioned nozzle on the basis of Gas Constant i.e. K? (Self Practice)

CLO – 2
Steam enters an adiabatic turbine steadily at 3 MPa and 400°C and leaves at 50 kPa and 100°C. If the power
output of the turbine is 2 MW, determine (a) the isentropic efficiency of the turbine and (b) the mass flow rate of the
steam flowing through the turbine.

Analyze the above mentioned turbine on the basis of Exit Pressure. Draw a meaningful conclusion from your numerical
analysis.

CLO – 2
An adiabatic compressor can compress the working fluid from 100kPa and 20C to a pressure of 800kPa at a steady
rate of 0.2 kg/s. If the compressor works isentropically; the exit temperature would be 120C. The isentropic efficiency
of the compressor is 80%.

Compare three working fluids namely N2 gas, superheated R134A and Air in this compressor.
Which of the working fluids (amongst N2 gas, superheated R134A and Air), will result in minimum temperature
rise in the compressor?
Which of the working fluids (N2 gas, superheated R134A and Air), will require the least power input?
