Problems Lt turbine is supplied with steam at a gauge pressure of L4bar. After expansion in the turbine the steam passes to a condenser which is maintained at a vacuum of 710mm Hg by means of pumps. The barometric pressure 772mm Hg, Express the inlet and exhaust steam (absolute) pressures Nim’, Take the density of mereury as 13.6°10°kg/m! (1502999, 8271.8N/m?) A mercury manometer measuring the pressure in a steam plant condenser reads 63em vacuum, The barometer in the plant room reads 76cm of mercury. WI is the absolute pressure in the condenser in N/m?? (17344Ni/m*) Problems 2-1 During the expansion of 1kg of a fluid the internal energy changes from an initial value of 1162ki/kg to a final value of 1025kJ/kg of shaft work are obtained, calculate the quantity and direction of exchange between the fluid and surroundings. Assume expansion is frictionless. (52k3 out wards) 2.2 Ina certain non —flow process with air as the working fluid, 100k, is removed from the system and the internal energy decreases by 200k4.
