Steam at 400 psia and 50 percent quality is heated in a steady-flow heat exchanger until it becomes saturated vapor. It is then expanded isentropically through a turbine to 1 psia. This is followed by cooling in a second heat exchanger and then isentropic compression to the initial condition. Determine the Carnot efficiency for the cycle and the net work output.

Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 1,000 psia and 900 F with a mass flow rate of 6 lbm/s and leaves at 5 psia. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 0.90. Neglect the kinetic and potential energy changes of the steam. What is the quality at the isentropic exit state, 2s (X2s)? What is the exit temperature of the steam (T2)? What is the power output of the turbine?

Steady state water enters y 220ºF into a heat exchanger, leaves it at y 320ºF. The steam that leaves the exchanger is fed to a turbine from which it comes out with a quality of 90% and 1 psia. The exchanger uses air that enters 360ºF and 1 atm with a volumetric flow of 3000 ft3 / min, and exits at 280ºF at the same pressure. Determine the power in the turbine (Btu / min).

Consider a combined gas-steam power cycle. The topping cycle is a simple Brayton cycle that has a pressure ratio of 7. Air enters the compressor at 15 ºC at a rate of 10 kg/s and the gas turbine at 950 ºC. The bottoming cycle is a reheat Rankine cycle between the pressure limits of 6 MPa and 10 kPa. Steam is heated in a heat exchanger at a rate of 1.15 kg/s by the exhaust gases leaving the gas turbine,...
