An insulated steam turbine produces 67,000 hp of power. Steam enters the turbine at 2000 psia and 1000°F, with a velocity of 400 ft/s, through a duct with a cross-sectional area of 0.20 ft2. The steam exits with a velocity of 30 ft/s, at a temperature of 420°F. Determine the exit pressure and, if applicable, the exit quality of the steam.
Given: P1 = 2000 psia; T1 = 1000°F; V1 = 400 ft/s; A1 = 0.20 ft2; T2 = 420oF ; V2 = 30 ft/s; W?=67000 hp=47,365 Btu/s; Steam Assume: Q? = 0 (insulated) Also, for a turbine, assume steady-state, steady-flow, single-inlet, single-outlet flow, with ?vPE = 0 What will be an ideal response?
If the thermal bulb assembly develops a leak, what will occur?
A. All of the system's refrigerant will leak out. B. The bulb pressure will reduce and the valve will close. C. The valve will open to allow more refrigerant to flow. D. It will have no effect on system operation.
