Superheated steam at 40 bar absolute and 500°C flows at a rate of 250 kg/min to an adiabatic turbine, where it expands to 5 bar. The turbine develops 1500 kW. From the turbine the steam flows to a heater, where it is reheated isobarically to its initial temperature. Neglect kinetic energy changes. (a) Write an energy balance on the turbine and use it to determine the outlet stream temperature. (b) Write an energy balance on the heater and use it to determine the required input (kW) to the steam. (c) Verify that an overall energy balance on the two-unit process is satisfied. (d) Suppose the turbine inlet and outlet pipes both have diameters of 0.5 meter. Show that it is reasonable to neglect the change in kinetic energy for this unit.

Steam enters a turbine with an enthalpy of 1292 BTU/lb and leaves with an enthalpy of 1098 BTU/lb. The heat loss is 13 BTU/lb. What is the work done per BTU/min and in hp for a flow of 2 lb/sec? Provide complete solution, with diagram
In a trial run, the De Laval steam turbine at Oman Power Plant rotates at 3000 rpm. The steam is issued from the nozzle at 400 m/s and the nozzle angle is 20o. The blade speed ratio is 0.41and the friction loss in the blade channel is 15%of the kinetic energy corresponding to the relative velocity at the inlet to the blades. As a turbine engineer at that station, how do you determine the (i) power developed by the turbine for a flow rate of 10 kg/s and (ii) suitable inlet and outlet angles for the blades when axial thrust is zero. Also, how would you determine the size of the turbine wheel required? Draw a suitable velocity diagram.
