The document describes three problems involving steam turbines and thermal equipment. The first problem involves steam expanding through a turbine from 600°C and 8 MPa to 300 kPa and then to 10 kPa, exiting at 85% quality. It asks for the rate of work done. The second problem provides operating data for a turbine and heat exchanger arrangement, asking for the temperature T3 and power output of the second turbine. The third problem describes industrial waste water entering a flash chamber and saturated vapor exiting and expanding through a turbine to 0.08 bar at 90% quality, asking for the power developed by the turbine.

with a mass flow rate of 13 kg/s at 600°C, 8 MPa, and a negligible velocity. The steam expands in the turbine to a saturated vapor at 300 kPa where 10 percent of the steam is removed for some other use. The remainder of the steam continues to expand to the turbine exit where the pressure is 10 kPa and quality is 85 percent. If the turbine is adiabatic, determine the rate of work done by the steam during this process.
2. Separate streams of steam and air
flow through the turbine and heat exchanger arrangement shown in Fig. 2. Steady-state operating data are provided on the figure. Heat transfer with the surroundings can be neglected, as can all kinetic and potential energy effects. Determine (a) T3, in K, and (b) the power output of the second turbine, in kW.
3. As shown in Fig. 3, hot
industrial waste water at 15 bar, 180°C with a mass flow rate of 5 kg/s enters a flash chamber via a valve. Saturated vapor and saturated liquid streams, each at 4 bar, exit the flash chamber. The saturated vapor enters the turbine and expands to 0.08 bar, x = 90%. Stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effectsare negligible. For operation at steady state, determine the power, in hp, developed by the turbine.
