Problem 118P
Combustion gases enter an adiabatic gas turbine at 1540°F and 120 psia and leave at 60 psia with a low velocity.Treating the combustion gases as air and assuming an isentropic efficiency of 82 percent, determine the work output of the turbine.
ANSWER:
Step by step solution Step 1 of 3Calculate the temperature of air leaving the turbine using the isentropic relation.Here, is the temperature of air entering into the turbine, is the pressure of air atthe inlet of the turbine, is the temperature of air leaving the turbine, is thepressure of air at the outlet of the turbine, is the temperature of air leaving theturbine is the pressure of air at the outlet of the turbine and is the specific heatratio.Substitute for , for , for and for
