Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.

Question

A client is building a steam turbine power generation system that utilize a generator that requires a
minimum input power of 1200 kW to be supplied by an existing steam turbine in their inventory. As the
consulting engineer, you need to investigate whether the existing steam turbine is capable or not to
supply the required output power for the generator.
The details of the steam turbine are as follow:
Inlet steam pressure
: 10 MPa
Inlet steam temperature
:400°C
Inlet mass flow rate
:2 kg/s
Outlet steam pressure
: 50 kPa.
Turbine isentropic efficiency : 0.80
For the analysis, assume that the turbine is adiabatic, and the kinetic energy change of the steam is
negligible.
