Problem 4 An air compressor is to be powered by a direct-coupled steam turbine (as shown in the figure below) that is also driving a generator. Steam enters the turbine at 13 MPa and 500 C at a rate of 20 kg/s and exits at 15 kPa and a quality of 0.85. Air enters the compressor at 98 kPa and 295 K at a rate of 7 kg/s and exits at 1 MPa and 600 K. Calculate the net power delivered to the generator.

A steady-flow thermodynamic system receives 100 lb/min of fluid at 30 psia and 200 Fahrenheit and discharges it from a point 80 ft above the entrance section at 150 psia and 600 Fahrenheit. The fluid enters with velocity of 1200 fpm and leaves with a velocity of 200 fpm. During this process, there are supplied 25,000 Btu/hr of heat from an external source and the increase in enthalpy is 2 Btu/lb. Determine the work done in horsepower.
An open feedwater heater heats the feedwater by mixing it with hot steam. Consider an electric power plant with an open feedwater heater that mixes 0.1 lbm/s of steam at 10 psia and 200°F with 2.0 lbm/s of feedwater at 10 psia and 100°F to produce 10 psia and 120°F feedwater at the outlet.

f. A water-jacketed compressor receives 140 L/s air at 100 kPa and 21 deg C and discharges the air at 140 deg C. Cooling water entering at 16 deg C and leaving at 21 deg C is circulated at the rate of 0.18 L/s.

The turbines in steam power plants operate essentially under adiabatic conditions. A plant engineer suggests ending this practice. She proposes to run cooling water through the outer surface of the casing to cool the steam as it flows through the turbine. This way, she reasons, the entropy of the steam will decrease, the performance of the turbine will improve, and as a result the work output of the turbine will increase. How would you evaluate this proposal?
Air enters the compressor of a gas turbine plant at ambient conditions of 100 kPa and 25 ⁰Cwith a low velocity and exits at 1 MPa and 347 ⁰C with a velocity of 90 m/s. The compressionprocess is adiabatic, and the power input is 270. Determine the mass flowrateof the air through the compressor.
