Steam Turbine Typical

Problem:

Determine the enthalpy for steam leaving an ideal steam turbine at 1 psia if the steam enters at a pressure of 1500 psia and a temperature of 1000 oF.

Steam Table Approach - Step 1

Using conventional superheated steam tables, we find that at 1500 psia and 1000 oF, the entropy s of the steam at the turbine inlet is:

s1 = 1.6001 Btu/lbm-R

Steam Tables - Step 2Ideal Steam Turbine => Entropy remains constant (i.e., s2 = s1)

Using the Saturation Tables, we find the quality of the steam at the turbine exit (p2 = 1 psia , s2 = s1 = 1.6001 Btu/lbm-R) is:

x2 = (s2 - sf)/sfg = (1.6001 - 0.13266)/1.8453 = 0.795

Thus, the enthalpy at the exit is:

h2 = hf + xhfg = 69.74 + (0.795)(1036.0) = 893.4 Btu/lbm

Inlet Conditionsp1 = 1500 psiaT1 = 1000 oFThus, s1 = 1.60037… Btu/lbm-R

Exit Conditionsp2 = 1 psias2 =s1 = 1.60037...Thus, h2 = 893.7 Btu/lbm

“Ideal” Turbine => Entropy remains constant (s2=s1)

Determining Exit Conditions in a Rocket Nozzle

Typical Problem:

Determine the Mach number and speed of the combustion products leaving a converging-diverging nozzle with an area ratio of 50:1. Assume a specific heats ratio g of 1.20 for the gases.

Traditional Approach - Calculations

This non-linear equation is not only messy. It cannot be solved directly. A trial-and-error root-finding approach must be used.

Traditional Approach The results of one such iterative method are shown below and indicate that the correct answer is approximately M = 4.3958

Online Calculator Approach

http://www.aoe.vt.edu/~devenpor/aoe3114/calc.html

Using the calculator, we immediately find the Mach number to be 4.3958
