Answer to Question #105408 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Kule

Question

The power delivered by an auxiliary turbine is 500,000 Btu /hr when the steam flow is 4000 lb/hr. Find a. the specific work in ft·lbf/lb b. The power delivered, Hp

Answer 1

(a)

$\frac{500000}{4000}=125$ $\frac{Btu}{lb}$ or $125\cdot 778=97250 \frac{ft\cdot lbf}{lb}$ Answer

(b)

$1 \frac{Btu}{hr} =0.000393014779 Hp$

$500000\frac{Btu}{hr}=196.5Hp$
