What is the required rate of heat transport for the boiler : An H2O boiler is designed to take 7000 lbm/hr in a steady-state process from saturated liquid at 1200 psi to an exit temperature of 900 degrees F. What is the required rate of heat transport for the boiler?

Air expands through a turbine operating at steady state : Air expands through a turbine operating at steady state on a test stand. At the inlet, p=50 psia, T=1500 degrees R, and at the exit , p=14.5 psi. The volume flow rate of air entering the turbine is 2000 ft^3/min, and the power developed is measured a..

Determine mass flow rate of the steam and exit velocity : Steam enters a turbine steadily at 10 MPa and 550oC with a velocity of 60 m/s and leaves at 25 kPa with a quality of 90 percent. A heat loss of 30 kJ/kg occurs during the process. The inlet area of the turbine is 200 cm2, and the exit area is 1400 cm..

The gas is now compressed slowly in a polytropic process during which PV1.3 is constant. The process ends when the volume is reduced by one-half. Determine the entropy chan..

Steam produced in a boiler is frequently wet : Steam produced in a boiler is frequently 'wet' - it consists of a mist composed of saturated vapor and entrained liquid droplets. The quality of the wet steam is defined as the fraction of the mixture by mass that is vapor.

Steady state operation determine the exit temperature : H2O enters a well-insulated nozzle at 200 psia, 500 degrees F, with a velocity of 200 ft/s and exits at 60 psia, with a velocity of 1700 ft/s. for steady state operation determine the exit temperature
