Combustion products from a burner enter a


gas turbine at 10 bar and 950C and
discharge at 1.5 bar. The turbine operates
adiabatically with an efficiency of 77%.
Assuming the combustion products to be an
ideal-gas mixture with a heat capacity of 32
Jmol-1K-1, what is the work output of the
turbine per mole of gas, and what is the
temperature of the gases discharging from
the turbine?

Given:

T1 = 1223.15 K
Cp = 32 Jmol-1K-1
P1 = 10 bar
P2 = 1.5 bar
= 0.77
Required: , T2

Equation

used:
Isentropic process. = 0


Taking its exponential form.

Another equation used:

Substituting the equation for

Ws(isentropic) = CpT1


Solution:
Ws(isentropic) = CpT1

Ws(isentropic) = (32)(1223.15)
Ws(isentropic) = -15231.44237 Jmol-1
Ws(isentropic) = -15231 Jmol-1

Ws = Ws(isentropic)
Ws = (0.77)(-15231.44 Jmol-1)
Ws = -11728.21062 Jmol-1
Ws = -11728 Jmol-1

T2 = T 1 +
T2 = 1223.15K +
T2 = 856.6434181 K
T2 = 856.64 K
