Answer to Question #152613 in Inorganic Chemistry for Gourav

Question

Steam is expanded adibatically in a turbine. If 1000kg/hr of steam at a pressure of 5 bar and 148 degree celcius of superheat enters in the turbine and discharge as saturated steam at 1 bar , calculat the work output of the turbine.

Answer 1

1000kg/hr of steam at a pressure of 5 bar 

148 degree celcius

1000kg = 1 hr

(P₁V₁)/T₁ = (P₂V₂)/T₂

((1000)(5))/441 = 1(V₂)/ 441

V₂ / 441 = 5000/441

V₂ = (5000/441)(441)

V₂ = 5000kg
