A steam engine converts 1,771 million Btu input energy obtained by burning a fuel into mechanical energy. The steam goes into the turbine at 295 ºC and condensed water leaves the turbine at 6 ºC. Assuming that the turbine operates as an ideal Carnot engine determine the mechanical energy output in MWh.

Your car’s engine is a heat engine; it converts the thermal energy from burning fuel into energy to move your car and power its systems. On a cold winter day, you needn’t feel guilty about cranking up the heat in your car; running the heater doesn’t cost any additional energy beyond the small amount needed to run the fan. Explain why this is so.

We have waste incinerator that converts waste fuel into work. The maximum temperature in the boiler is 400oC, the turbine has 100% saturated vapor as the exhaust, and the condenser operates at 75 kPa using steam as the working fluid. Assume the work done by the pump is negligible and the turbine is adiabatic and ideal Assuming a Rankine cycle, a) Sketch your cycle on a T-S diagram with appropriate labels. Label the entrance of the condenser as 1, the...

1. You are to do a preliminary design study for a small demonstration steam turbine power plant. - Steam will be provided by a small steam generator fired by natural gas.   - Your system will take in steam at 30 bar and 400 oC. - The steam passes through a two stage turbine. At a pressure of 10 bars, the steam leaves the first stage of the turbine and will pass through a reheat loop in the steam generator which...

A local coal fired 200 megawatt electrical generating plant has a thermal efficiency of 30% and a nuclear 150 megawatt electrical generating plant has a thermal efficiency of 25%. a. Calculate the waste heat emitted by each (in megawatts) b. If the cooling water used for the nuclear plant were required to only rise in temperature by 2o C after it absorbs the waste heat, how much water per hour would be required to cool the nuclear plant (in cubic...

1) A nozzle is a device for increasing the velocity of a steadily flowing stream of fluid. At the inlet to a certain nozzle the enthalpy of the fluid is 3025 kJ/kg and the velocity is 60 m/s. At the exit from the nozzle the enthalpy is 2790 kJ/kg. The nozzle is horizontal and there is negligible heat loss from it. (i) Find the velocity at the nozzle exit. (ii) If the inlet area is 0.1 m2 and specific volume...
