A compressor takes in saturated steam (free of water droplets)
at 1000 kPa and compresses it to 17.5 MPa and 650C.
Show the process in both the and diagrams. Also
show the process of the comparable ideal compressor in the
diagrams. Also show and mark the 1000 kPa and 17.5 MPa isobars
and the 650C isotherm in the diagrams.
Find the enthalpy and entropy at 17.5 MPa by averaging between
15MPa and 20 MPa in B.1.3 for the following temperatures:
550C, 600C, and 650C.
Find the isentropic efficiency.
Find the total entropy production.
Air is blown into a well insulated turbine at 1227C and 1
MPa and exits at 100kPa. The isentropic efficiency is 85%. Find
the work produced by the turbine and the total entropy generated.
Air enters an adiabatic compressor with an isentropic efficiency
of 70% at 100 kPa and 293 K, at the rate of 2 kg/s and exits at 473
K. What is the power required to run the compressor and its exit
pressure. Use constant specific heats from A.5, not A.7.1. Note:
this question is a bit tricky because the exit pressure is not
given. Compute the quantities in the order asked, switching to the
ideal compressor at the appropriate moment.
