Steam enters an insulated turbine at 100 bar, 400oC. At the exit, the pressure and quality are 200 kPa and 0.47, respectively. Determine the power produced (kW) by the turbine if the mass flow rate is 1.99 kg/s.

power produced = 3098.52 kW

Explanation:

given data

insulated turbine = 100 bar

temperature = 400°C

pressure = 200 kPa

mass flow rate = 1.99 kg/s

solution

we use here steam table for At 100 bar and 400°C

h1 = 3096.5 KJ/Kg

and

at P2 = 200 Kpa

h2 = hf + 0.47 hg

h2 = 504.7 + 0.47 * 2201.6

h2 = 1539.452 KJ/Kg

so here

power produced is express as

power produced = m * (h1 - h2) ... 1

power produced = 1.99 * (3096.5 - 1539.452)

power produced = 3098.52 kW
