. Calculate the work of a steam turbine with the following thermodynamic parameters: Enthalpy in = 1500 Btu/lbm Enthalpy out = 1053 Btu/lbm Velocity in = 125 ft/sec Velocity out = 130 ft/sec Inlet nozzle is 8 ft above the turbine Heat loss inside the turbine is 10 Btu/lbm
What is the efficiency of a Diesel Engine if the heat added is 19 BTU and heat rejected is 9 BTU?
How many houses could a single natural gas plant serve? Ignore timing of supply and demand overlap, as well as technical details such as ramping. Assume the average house uses 10,000 kwh per year, and the natural gas plant has a rated capacity of 100 MW, an efficiency of 38%, and a capacity factor of 0.74.
