A steam turbine receives 8 kg/s of steam at 9 MPa, 650 C and 60 m/s (pressure, temperature and velocity). It discharges liquid-vapor mixture with a quality of 0.94 at a pressure of 325 kPa and a velocity of 15 m/s. In addition, there is heat transfer from the turbine to the surroundings for 560 kW. Find the power produced by the turbine and express it in kW?

The power produced by the turbine is 23309.1856 kW

Explanation:

h₁ = 3755.39

s₁ = 7.0955

s₂ = sf + x₂sfg  =

Interpolating fot the pressure at 3.25 bar gives;

570.935 +(3.25 - 3.2)/(3.3 - 3.2)*(575.500 - 570.935) = 573.2175

2156.92 +(3.25 - 3.2)/(3.3 - 3.2)*(2153.77- 2156.92) = 2155.345

h₂ = 573.2175 + 0.94*2155.345 = 2599.2418 kJ/kg

Power output of the turbine formula =

Which gives;

= -8*((2599.2418 - 3755.39)+(15^2 - 60^2)/2 ) = -22749.1856

= -22749.1856 - 560 = -23309.1856 kJ

= 23309.1856 kJ

Power produced by the turbine = Work done per second = 23309.1856 kW.
