A fire-tube steam boiler must produce 1.5 kg/s of saturated steam with 3% humidity, at 160°C.
The boiler burns wood with 20% humidity and 25% excess air. Performance was analyzed
based on values measured over a time interval. The boiler is fed with water at 70°C. The
composition of the firewood (dry basis) is: C = 50%, H = 7%, O = 38%, N = 5%. The overall yield
is 75% (based on PC₁). Determine:
a) Firewood consumption (kg/h);
b) The CO₂ content, on a dry basis, expected in the chimney;
Calculate the enthalpy, volume and entropy of 2 kg of
steam at a pressure of 1.9 MPa having the dryness fraction
of 0.85.
An equimolar mixture of helium and argon gases is to be used as the working fluid in a closed-loop gas-turbine cycle. The mixture
enters the turbine at 2.5 MPa and 1100 K and expands isentropically to a pressure of 200 kPa. Determine the work output of the
turbine per unit mass of the mixture. Use the table containing the molar mass, gas constant, and critical-point properties and the table
containing the ideal-gas specific heats of various common gases.
