Chapter 8.8, Problem 63P
Combustion gases enter a gas turbine at 900°C, 800 kPa, and 100 m/s and leave at 650°C, 400 kPa, and 220 m/s. Taking cp = 1.15 kJ/kg·°C and k = 1.3 for the combustion gases, determine (a) the exergy of the combustion gases at the turbine inlet and (b) the work output of the turbine under reversible conditions. Assume the surroundings to be at 25°C and 100 kPa. Can this turbine be adiabatic?

Hot combustion gases enter the nozzle of a turbojet engine at 260 kPa, 747°C, and 80 m/s, and they exit at a pressure of 85 kPa. Assuming an isentropic efficiency of 92 percent and treating the combustion gases as air, determine the exit velocity.
Steam enters an adiabatic turbine steadily at 7 MPa, 500°C, and 45 m/s and leaves at 100 kPa and 75 m/s. If the power output of the turbine is 5 MW and the isentropic efficiency is 77 percent, determine the temperature at the turbine exit.
