Steam at 80 bar, 440 Celsius, enters a turbine operating at steady state at a volumetric flow rate of 180 m3/min. The water exits the turbine in two streams, 20% as exits through a 0.25 m diameter pipe at 60 bar, 400 Celsius. The rest exits through a 1.5 m diameter pipe at a quality of 85%, 0.7 bar. Determine the mass flow rate at the inlet in kg/s and velocity in each of the exit pipes in m/s

Steam turbine operating at steady state produces : A steam turbine operating at steady state produces 6,000 hp with a heat transfer to the surroundings at a rate of 360,000 Btu/hr. Steam enters at 600 F, at 200 psi and exits as a saturated vapor at 8 psi. Neglecting the KE and PE determine the volume..

What is the heat transfer associated : Air in a piston-cylinder device is compressed from an initial state (temperature = 80 °C, pressure = 100 kPa, volume = 0.3 m3) to a final state (temperature = 250 °C, pressure = 600 kPa), during a polytropic process (n = 1.28094065700868). What is th..

Determine the temperature of the air at the exit : Air enters a pipe at 25 Celsius, 100 kPa at a flow rate of 36 m3/hr. A heater on the outside of the pipe draws 8 amps at a voltage of 120 V. All the heat from the heater is transferred to the air (well insulated and wall t is small).
