#4. To operate a steam turbine in part-load output, a throttling valve is used as shown. The valve reduces the pressure of steam before it enters the turbine. The state of steam in the supply line remains fixed at 2 MPa, 500°C and the turbine exhaust pressure remains fixed at 10 kPa. Assuming the turbine to be adiabatic and reversible, determine (a)the full load specific work output in kJ/kg, (b)the pressure of the steam must be throttled to for 75%...
Steam enters a well-insulated throttling valve (treat the process as adiabatic) at a mass flow rate of m=15 kg/min with an initial pressure of Pi= 550 kPa and initial temperature Ti= 200ºC and exits at a pressure of Pf= 200 kPa. What is the temperature of the steam upon exiting the valve?

An insulated, rigid tank whose volume is 0.5 m^3 is connected by a valve to a large vessel holding steam at 40 bar, 500 C. the tank is initially evacuated, the value is opened only as long as required to fill the tank with steam to a pressure of 20 bar. determine the final temperature of the steam in the tank, in C, and the final mass of the steeam in the tank, in Kg.
An insulated steam turbine receives 30 kg of steam per second at 3 MPa, 350 °C. At the point in the turbine where the pressure is 0.5 MPa, steam is bled off for processing equipment at the rate of 5 kg/s. The temperature of this steam is 200 °C. The balance of the steam leaves the turbine at 15 kPa, 90% quality. Determine the exergy per kilogram of the steam entering and at both points at which steam leaves the...
A 2-m rigid insulated tank initially containing saturated water vapor at 1.2 MPa is connected through a valve to a supply line that carries steam at 400 °C. Now, the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to flow slowly into the tank until the pressure in the tank rises to 2.5 MPa. At this instant, the tank temperature is measured to be 350 °C. Determine a) the mass of the steam that has entered the tank from the supply...
