Steam at a rate of 200 kg/min enters a turbine at 350°C and 40 bar through a 7.5-cm
internal diameter pipe. The turbine operation is adiabatic, and the effluent leaves as
saturated water at 5 bar through a 5-cm diameter pipe.
1. Calculate the work produced by the turbine in kW.
2. What is the enthalpyand phase of the effluent stream?
21 If it leaves the turbine at 75C and 5 bar
22 If it leaves the turbine at 30C and 5 bar

A steam turbine of a local power plant is supplied with steam of 1.5 MPa and (40x9) °C from the boiler and the
condensate exits the turbine as saturated vapor at (5x9) °C. Determine the rate at which heat is lost to the surrounding
from the turbine if the mass flow rate of the steam is 19 kg/s and the turbine produces 12 MW of power. Neglect both
potential and kinetic energy.
Answer:
1.
Steam at a pressure of 2MPA and temperature 300°C is passed at a
constant rate into a desuperheater unit. The desuperheater is accomplished by
continuously spraying water at 95 °C onto incoming superheated steam. The
amount of water injected is so regulated that both the water and superheated
steam finally change into dry steam at 2 MPa. If the resulting mixture of dry
saturated steam leaves the desuperheater at 2MPA and the rate of I kg/s, find the
mass of superheated steam used per hour and the mass of water to be injected per
hour. Fond also the diameter of the pipe through which the superheated steam
flows to the superheater if the speed of the steam through the pipe is not to exceed
25m/s..
