Chapter 6, Problem 6.162

(choose chapter or problem)

As shown in Fig. P6.162, a steam turbine having an isentropic turbine efficiency of 90% drives an air compressor having an isentropic compressor efficiency of 85%. Steadystate operating data are provided on the figure. Assume the ideal gas model for air, and ignore stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects.

(a) Determine the mass flow rate of the steam entering the turbine, in kg of steam per kg of air exiting the compressor.

(b) Repeat part (a) if \(\eta_{\mathrm{t}}=\eta_{\mathrm{c}}=100 \%\)
