Problem 43P
Air flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine, entering at 150 psia, 900°F, and 350 ft/s and leaving at 20 psia, 300°F, and 700 ft/s. The inlet area of the turbine is 0.1 ft2. Determine (a) the mass flow rate of the air and (b) the power output of the turbine.
ANSWER:
Step by step solution Step 1 of 6(a)As there is only one exit and inlet, the mass flow rate of air at outlet is equal tomass flow rate of air at inlet and mass flow rate of air .Convert inlet temperature from degree Fahrenheit to temperature inrankineSubstitute for
