Evaluation of ∆�

a) Using the Steam Table

Illustration 1 Energy Balance on a Steam Turbine

Steam at 10 bar with 190 oC of superheat is fed to a turbine at a


rate of 2000 kg/h. The turbine operation is adiabatic , and the
effluent is saturated steam at 1 bar. Calculate the work output of
the turbine in kilowatts.

answer : – 292 kW
(For solution, see example 7.5-3 of textbook by Felder & Rousseau)

Evaluation of ∆�

b) Using Tabulated Enthalpy Data for Other Substances

The following entries are taken from a data table for saturated methyl chloride :

State T (oF) P (psia) � (ft3/lbm) � (Btu/lbm)


Liquid - 40 6.88 0.0155 0.00
Vapor 0 18.90 4.9690 196.23
Vapor 50 51.99 1.9200 202.28

1. What reference state was used to generate the given enthalpies ?

2. Calculate ∆� and ∆� for the transition of saturated methyl chloride vapor

from 50oF to 0oF assuming that � is independent of P.

State T (oF) P (psia) � (ft3/lbm) � (Btu/lbm)


Liquid - 40 6.88 0.0155 0.00
Vapor 0 18.90 4.9690 196.23
Vapor 50 51.99 1.9200 202.28
