    This document contains directions and 3 problems for a chemical engineering exam. Problem 1 involves calculating the horsepower and entropy change for a steam turbine operating at given inlet and outlet conditions. It also asks what the outlet temperature and horsepower would be if the turbine was better insulated and reversible. Problem 2 provides a schematic diagram of a hypothetical engine device and asks to fill in a table with temperature values and prove it is not thermodynamically feasible. Problem 3 gives details of a furnace that burns a liquid fuel to produce steam and asks to draw a flowchart, calculate flue gas composition, heat transfer rate, and steam production. The document wishes students good luck on the exam.

    Computethe horsepowerdevelopedby the turbineand the entropychangeof the steam.


    Supposethe turbine is now replacedwith one that is well-insulatedso that the heat loss is eliminatedand
    well designed,so that the expansionis reversible. If the exit pressureand velocity are mainained at the
    previousvalues,what is the outlet steamtemperatureand the turbine horsepower?
    Whatis the efficiencyof the turbinein (a)?
