QUESTION:
Helium is expanded in a turbine from 1500 kPa and 3008C to 100 kPa and 258C. Determine the maximum work this turbine can produce, in kJ/kg. Does the maximum work require an adiabatic turbine?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 7
Helium expands in an adiabatic turbine from a specified inlet state to a specified exit state. The maximum work output is to be determined.
Assumptions are
1. This is a steady-flow process since there is no change with time.
2. The device is adiabatic and thus heat transfer is negligible.
3. Helium is an ideal gas.
4. Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.
The properties of helium are
