Chapter 7, Problem 194P

(choose chapter or problem)

An adiabatic air compressor is to be powered by a direct-coupled adiabatic steam turbine that is also driving a generator. Steam enters the turbine at 12.5 MPa and 500°C at a rate of 25 kg/s and exits at 10 kPa and a quality of 0.92. Air enters the compressor at 98 kPa and 295 K at a rate of 10 kg/s and exits at 1 MPa and 620 K. Determine (a) the net power delivered to the generator by the turbine and (b) the rate of entropy generation within the tur­bine and the compressor during this process.
