Cycle Analysis:
By Energy Balance
Ein = Eout
QA + h4 = h1
QA = h1 – h4 (kJ/kg)
QA = m (h1 - h4 ) kW
By Energy Balance
Ein = Eout
h2 = QR + h3
QR = h2 – h3 (kJ/kg)
QR = m (h2 – h3 ) (kW)
3. Turbine Work, Wt :
By Energy Balance
Ein = Eout
h1 = Wt + h2
Wt = h1 – h2 (kJ/kg)
Wt = m (h1 – h2 ) kW
Note: If change in Kinetic Energy is given:
Wt = h1 – h2 + ΔKE (kJ/kg)
4. Pump Work, Wp :
By Energy Balance
Ein = Eout
Wp + h3 = h4
Wp = h4 – h3 kJ/kg
Wp = m (h4 – h3) Kw
Wnet = Wt – Wp
Wnet = h1 – h2 – Wp
Or
Wnet = QA – QR
Wnet = h1 – h4 - ( h2 – h3)
Wnet = h1 – h4 - h2 + h3
Wnet = h1 - h2 – ( h4 - h3)
Wnet = h1 – h2 – Wp
