Steam at 40 bar, 500oC flowing at the rate of 5500 kg/h expands in a h.p. turbine to 2 bar withan isentropic efficiency of 83%. A continuous supply of steam at 2 bar, 0.87 quality and a flowrate of 2700 kg/h is available from a geothermal energy source.

A turboprop engine consists of a diffuser, compressor, combustor, turbine, and nozzle. The turbine drives a propeller as well as the compressor. Air enters the diffuser with a volumetric flow rate of 83.7 m3/s at 40 kPa, 240 K, and a velocity of 180 m/s, and decelerates essentially to zero velocity. The compressor pressure ratio is 10 and the compressor has an isentropic efficiency of 85 %. The turbine inlet temperature is 1,140 K, and its isentropic efficiency is 85 %. The turbine exit pressure is 50 kPa. Flow through the diffuser and nozzle is isentropic.

Neglect kinetic energy except at the diffuser inlet and the nozzle exit.

Air at 2.5 bar, 400 K is extracted from a main jet engine compressor for cabin cooling. The extracted air enters a heat exchanger where it is cooled at constant pressure to 350 K through heat transfer with the ambient.
