22-1: A steam turbine is limited to a maximum inlet temperature of 800 C. The exhaust pressure is .01 MPa and the moisture in the turbine exhaust is not to exceed 9%. Use EES along with an array table. a) What is the maximum allowable turbine inlet pressure if the flow is adiabatic and reversible (aka isentropic)? b) What is the specific work output given conditions of isentropic expansion? c) Starting with the same initial conditions, what are the actual outlet conditions if this turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 85%? d) What is the specific work output of this turbine? e) Display the ideal and real expansion processes on an EES Ts property diagram. Please show EES code

A steam power plant runs on a reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters both the high and low pressure turbines at 500oC. The maximum and minimum pressures of the cycle are 10 MPa and 10 kPa, respectively. Steam leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid. The moisture content of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine is 4% if the actual expansion process is adiabatic; 8.5% if the ideal expansion process is isentropic. The isentropic efficiencies of the high-pressure...

A steam turbine has inlet steam pressure p1 = 1.4 MPa absolute. Inlet steam temperature is T1 = 400 oC. This corresponds to inlet enthalpy per unit mass of h1 = 3121 kJ/kg. Exit pressure of the steam is p2 = 101 kPa absolute. Exit steam temperature is T2 = 100 oC. This corresponds to exit enthalpy per unit mass of h2 = 2676 kJ/kg. Inlet speed of the steam is V1 = 15 m/s and exit speed is V2...

A steam power cycle can be characterized by the pressures between which it operates. The turbine provides the work out with a high pressure inlet and low pressure outlet. The pump does the opposite, namely increase the pressure from a low value to a high value. For a power plant operating between 7 MPa and 15 kPa, determine the ratio of the work delivered by the turbine to the work consumed by the pump. Assume the cycle is completely reversible...
