Q6/ Your company produces small power plants that generate electricity by expanding wasteprocess steam in a turbine. You are asked to study the turbine to determine if it is operatingas efficiently as possible. One way to ensure good efficiency is to have the turbine operateadiabatically. Measurements show that for steam at 500°F and 250 psia:a. The work output of the turbine is 2.20 x10 Btu.b. The rate of steam usage is 1000 lb/hr.c. The saturated steam leaves the turbine at 14.7 psia and consists of 15% moisture (i.e.,liquid H2O).Is the turbine operating adiabatically? Support your answer with calculations.

Your second customer wants to determine the dissipated electrical power by a personal computer, which has a fan that draws 5 L/s of air at 101.325 kPa and 21°C through the box containing the CPU and other components. After that air leaves at 101.325 kPa and 30 °C. Part 1Derive the steady flow energy equation (SFEE) from the first principles. You are required to show all the steps in deriving the SFEE and using both the principles of mass and energy conversation.Part 2Produce specific steady state energy equation (SFEE) by stating all the stated assumption in this equipment in order to be used in later stages without further analysis. Then calculate the pump power.Part 3Apply the short form to determine the dissipated electrical power by the personal computer.
Problem 8The demand for electric power is usually much higher during the day than it is at night, andutility companies often sell power at night at much lower prices to encourage consumers to usethe available power generation capacity and to avoid building new expensive power plants thatwill be used only a short time during peak periods. Utilities are also willing to purchase powerproduced during the day from private parties at a high price. Suppose a utility company is selling electric power for $0.07/kWh at night and is willing to pay $0.15/kWh for power produced during the day. To take advantage of this opportunity, an entrepreneur is considering building a large reservoir 100 m above the lake level, pumping water from the lake to the reservoir at night using cheap power, and letting the water flow from the reservoir back to the lake during the day, producing power as the pump–motor operates as a turbine–generator during reverse flow. Preliminary analysis shows that a water flow…
